The Whitt brakes definitely are custom fit to your barrel taper. But because the outer barrel contour and bore may not be coaxial the bore of the brake is "oversized" to prevent mechanical interference. One poster said they aren't custom he meant the bore of the brake isnt indicated with the bore of the barrel. Of course test have shown the effectiveness between indicated "tight bore" brakes and greatly oversized brakes is only a difference of 1% - 3%. While individuals shooting them noticed no or slight perceivable difference.
Answer yes they are custom fit. Really not an arguement worth pursuing.
