    Re: Threading for a muzzle brake on my bolt action What does the shoulder have to do with it? If the diameter of the brake is larger then the diameter of the barrel does it make a difference? Times are tough if I could not do it myself I would not be asking..... Thanks for your comment...

    Gunsmithing want to cut back a barrel

    Re: want to cut back a barrel Hacksaw, chopsaw would work, you will get a better & straighter cut with the chopsaw... The important thing is to recrown the muzzle, I would recommend using the 90 degree crown tool for the Nagant. Remember that if you cut 2"s you will be removing the...
