Remington 700 AAC-SD - Shim Count for AAC Breakout

[J3L]

Does anyone have the correct combination of AAC shims for the Breakout install on the Remington 700 AAC barrel? Are they bloody unique or is there a standardized formula?

I just don't have the time to meddle about with shims all night. I have to work to pay the bloody bills.

Thanks,

Don't have time to tighten a nut a few times?
The whole idea of the shims is so you can clock the device to your barrel....

No two threads are exaxtly the same so you're going to have to mess with it. If you can't do it a smith would be more than happy to time it for you at a cost of about $100 plus return shipping.

I have time, just not last night. However this weekend I'm trying to use a bit of the ol' Texas deer season.

I didn't like the way multi stacked shims looked. There seemed to be too much space. Concerning me insomuch as to delay install.

There shouldn't be a need to smith it, except for the torque wrench. I don't have the type that is required. I've got one of the yellow Wheeler wrenches.

I shouldn't let impatience win this battle. I can always put the AAC flash hider back on. I just don't care for the muzzle climb on a bolt gun.

As a rule of thumb, what degree of the brake tightened by hand is acceptable before putting a wrench to it?

Looks like without any shims I'm about at the 2'oclock position.
