Title: Muzzle brake and threading a barrel
Post by: bigmountainskiercfg on February 14, 2015, 04:17:08 PM: I have a kimber 8400 select that I want to have a muzzle brake installed on (don't care to hear about the pro's and cons of a brake). Do you guys know someone local that you would trust/recommend to have work on a rifle. Its my pride and joy (besides my son) and shoots excellent. I'd like it to follow the same contour with the end of the muzzle if that makes.

Thanks in advance
