Timing new muzzle brake

My Silencerco brake, came with a pack of different thickness spacers.
Had to find the right combination, but worked OK.

I also used the Silencerco shims that came with my brake. Once I found the right combination for the timing, I tightened it down with blue loctite on the threads. There is no need in going crazy tight with a brake, especially if all it is being used for is a muzzle brake. Just snug it up. Some say about 20-30 ft/lbs. My brake was the quick detach type for my suppressor. I have since removed it because I have purchased a direct thread suppressor. When removing it, I had to put the barrel in my barrel vise to get it off. I had to really crank down on the vise to keep the barrel from twisting.......and that was with blue loctite. I hear devices installed with Rocksett can be a bear to remove. I think blue loctite for a brake on a bolt action rifle is plenty good. I doubt the barrel would ever become hot enough to break down blue loctite on a bolt rifle.
