I was so excited today to pick up my barrel from the gunsmith after he installed the muzzle brake I desired for so long. I am driving, admiring the brake (maybe I should pay attention to the road) and then I have an AHA moment....how am I going to install my barrel into my action?... the OD of the brake is going to be larger than the opening in my wrench and thus I will be unable to slide it over the barrel to tighten the barrel nut. I called the gunsmith (long drive) and asked if I will be able to remove the brake, install the barrel and then thread again the muzzle. He said it will take an act of Congress to remove that brake. So...guys what options do I have? The brake OD is 1.35" and the barrel at the muzzle is 1.00".
Thanks,
