Re: 2 questions- Timing a brake, installing a trigger
Fitter - a brake that needs to be timed either needs material removed from the rear of the brake, from the front of the barrel shoulder, or needs some sort of washer/spacer. This is how it is timed. I personally would not tackle any material removal myself, but I'm not a machinist. I imagine this is pretty easy to do if you are a machinist. The washer setup is pretty easy, but has been said, may not be ideal for a precision rifle. That said, my Service Rifle uses peel washers to time the flash hider. The hider was put on only finger tight, and the way I look at it, the peel washers only act as a spacer. The hider is mostly held on from the loc tite, not the pretension from cranking down the hider. It's quite a shooter, so maybe this is a viable option for you. You could always give it a try and test the accuracy. If it's not good, send it to one of the many fine smiths on this board for the machine work
