I'm stuck.
I've got a barrel and I have a brake. After installing literally hundreds of muzzle brakes one would think this would be a no brainer.
The part is a SureFire SFMB-762-5/8-24. On page 11 of the little manual that comes with the brake there's a generic print and a series of models listed in a table with various dimensions applied. -That part is easy, I got it.
What's left to sort out is if this particular brake is actually listed in this chart. In the remarks column it lists "XX" as having an "MB" prefix in the part number. This brake has that prefix, but it also has an "SF" superseding it.
It makes no reference to this particular/specific part#.
The barrel is big. Bigger in OD than the brake is. I know SF cans often require a clearance on the backside of the brake so that the lock mechanism has the required room to do its job.
I don't have a can to marry up to it and every time I've called SF to ask for guidance on this I get a very vague "broad sweeping" response. -leaving me feeling less than enchanted.
In the past shit like this has resulted in some rather awkward conversations with customers because they get their stuff and it doesn't work. Cans don't fit, etc. Its really aggravating as I've devoted a pile of time with the tech support folks at SF and went at it assuming I'd done it right based on what they tell me. Obviously somewhere there's a disconnect. Either I'm explaining myself very poorly, or I'm not talking to the right person.
SO if someone here has this SPECIFIC brake installed on a heavy barreled bolt gun along with a SOCOM series can I would be eternally grateful if you could post a photo or two detailing how the barrel contour looks behind the brake.
I'll take my licks, call me a moron, whatever. Don't care. I just don't want to get my ass chewed by a customer again for this.
Appreciate the help.
