**UPDATE / 2 posts down I added PHOTOS and INFO / Brake arrived - measurements posted -
New guy here - I've built an AR and decided to pick up a bolt gun and learn the ins-n-outs. I should have one of Ross' muzzle brakes in the mail any day now and want to install myself. I've done some reading and most topics involve how to thread, etc. I've got the 700 AAC and informed Ross of the shoulder behind the threads that remington leaves on the AAC barrels. He was aware and was going to remove the first thread or two so that I could install the brake W/O a washer (that's my goal). I read a post or two about people going to town on the brake with some wet sandpaper and I'll probably go this route. I'd rather try this myself without taking to a smith if possible (and not using washers). Wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions - tips, etc for me. Thanks in advance for any advice!
