Getting ready to send my barreled action to GAP for some work . Trying to decide between the Surefire brake , Titan brake, or no brake at all. The gun will be used for everything from hunting to target shooting. TIA
I like brakes, but not on hunting rigs. I'd do something like the RAD Rapid Brake or the Benchmark Barrels Brake that doesn't require it to be timed and is easy on and off. Just have GAP thread it and put a thread protector on it.
If you're using it for hunting I wouldn't get a brake because of the concussion and noise. However, if you plan on getting a Surefire can, then I would go with the Surefire brake, so you can hunt suppressed and not worry about ear pro at all. I love my Surefire brake, and I have a can on the way now.

Actually it will be my one and only everything rig
Get a brake. The RAD rapid brake or a FTE style brake that has a "pinch bolt" is a great idea. When the rifle is used for hunting, take the brake off and install a thread protector.

Correct. Here is what they look like. Pinch bolt at the bottom. Thread it on and tighten the bolt to lock it into place.
Just so I understand, I wouldn't need to send a RAD brake to GAP with the barreled action ? I could just have them thread the barrel and screw the brake on when I get it back without having to have it timed ?

The RAD brake does need to be timed for proper install...best to send it to GAP with your rifle. There's a slight boss at the aft end of the RAD brake that need to be faced in order for the brake to clock correctly on your particular barrel. I imagine you could try to get away with shims to index the brake correctly if you really had an opposition to sending the brake in.
Wade, I just got finished timing my AAC brake on a threaded AAC-SD and I plan to leave the brake on for most everything but when I hunt with it (once or twice a year), I will put the thread protector back on. Kind of the best of both worlds and it will support a can at some point in the future.
