How do you make sure the brake lines up right when installing it on a barrel? Also, how do you make the shank taper diameter the same as the barrel diameter?

If it is a brake that needs "timed" to align properly, then you have to machine the threads for it so that when the barrel is mounted and head spaced correctly and the brake is screwed on it is aligned. That's why I don't use those kinds of brakes...too much work. You need a lathe to taper the shank to the same diameter as the barrel.
What kind do you use?Quote:
