[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5808399, member: 16430"] Barrel diameter plays a huge role in threading for a brake. You don't want the bore too thin after threading and you also want a good shoulder to seat on. I buy my brakes in the raw so I can turn and profile them to blend in with the barrel. I bore and clearance the ID at the same time to keep clearance tight. I just don't have that much faith in a pre machined brake being aligned with the rifle bore after being installed. Bullet strikes are not a good thing. The pre machined brakes are typically over clearanced to allow for those variances. As clearance gets looser, brake effectiveness diminishes. [/QUOTE]
