I'm going to send a factory, stainless, 338 Win Mag barrel which has the on/off brake in to get rechambered to 338/375 Ruger. I plan to just have the barrel cut and crowned at 20" and go without a brake. But could the factory brake be removed and potentially reinstalled on another gun? My Father-in-Law loves the idea of a muzzle brake that can be turned off. So I thought that I'd give it to him if it can be removed and reused.
