    Savage .223 FCP-K muzzle brake removal?


    I would like to remove the muzzle brake from my Model 10 FCP-K .223.

    There is an upcoming Canadian MOA challenge I may attend and brakes are a no no. I know I could pull it off and look but I hate to start wrench twisting on a good barrel and I've not completely made up my mind to compete there as yet.

    If it is a straight forward removal and a normal thread I would remove it and replace with a thread protector.
    Does anyone know the thread size diameter and TPI? I know standard is 12"x28 tpi for .223 so what say you?

    Thank in advance.

    I remember reading here that the 308 used a 5/8-24 thread and I thought the 223 used a 1/2-28. I know the new Hog Hunter Model is threaded that way and I believe the 10/110-BA's are threaded 5/8-24 also. I think only the "Adjustable" Savage Brakes are threaded oddly, using a 9/16-28.

    I am 99% sure on all of that, but...

    Thanks for the info. I'm guessing it is a 1/2 x 28. I may just bite the bullet ;D and pull it anyway. It has wrench flats on the brake and I believe it is timed by a washer. Sure was hoping some Savage 'spert could tell me all about it without me doing exploratory on it. ;D

    Mine was threaded 5/8-24. Removal was pretty straight forward. I clamped the barrel in a vice with some oak blocks to protect the finish and then used a big wrench to take it off. If the gun has been used a lot you may have a lot of carbon to fight against. You will also see how dirty your crown is.

    Yep,

    Exactly as you said. Fairly easy to break free(pun intended) ;D and remove. It does mic at 5/8". Looking for a thread protector here inside Canada as I post.

    Thanks folks for the replies.
