    Muzzel break blew off on the first shot!

    Re: Muzzel break blew off on the first shot! Something isn't adding up here still. -He cut threads too short on your barrel. -The brake just slides on. -He did not cut the barrel down? Does the brake unscrew? Unless he cut the barrel down to recut the threads at the correct depth, it seems...
