So I have finally got around to taking my 6.5 barrel and action to the gunsmith for chambering. I opted to forgo cerakoting (stainless) for muzzle threading. I have been looking at the badger ordnance thruster brakes. I understand that this is a timed brake that will have to be installed by the gunsmith. Should I pick one of those up and take it to the smith for installation or is there a better option I can do myself after he chambers the barrel and cuts the threads?

Thanks
 
Ok, ordered the thruster. Already having the muzzle threaded, hopefully he doesnt charge much more to install the brake.
 
It will need to be timed bored and the blended to your preference, so their should be additional cost. It'll probably save some labor/cost if he does it all at the same time.
 
Thats what Im hoping. Almost makes me regret getting it threaded, I essentially have a tax stamp in fees and the cost of the brake.
