I have a Tikka in .243 that needs a little end of muzzle attention so that I can use my Omega 300 on it. The first question that I have is where should I take it or send it to get threaded. Is there someone in the Minnesota or Wisconsin area that is worth the drive or do I just need to throw it in a box and mail it someplace? The second question is what to put on the end of it. For something that will probably see more range time than hunting time do I go with a muzzle brake or just direct thread it? Both of my ARs are set up with Silencerco’s ASR system so I like the idea of something compatible with that going on the end. If I go the muzzle brake route, would I be able to tell the difference between their single port and three port versions? --------------- "Structural engineering is the art of moulding materials we don't understand into shapes we cannot precisely analyze, so as to withstand forces we cannot really access, in such a way that the community at large has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."

1. Class 3 Machining is my go to for barrel threads, he is stupid fast. Here 2. Having a muzzle device would be easier to swap from one to the other, I hate having to unscrew the direct thread adapter from the can, its always super tight. Once you have a can why would you not use it? So, 2 vs 3 port brake is non issue, go 2 to save weight. David W. Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud. -Sophocles | |||

I’ll recommend Class 3 as well. Morgan is local to me so I’ve had the good fortune to meet him in person. A stand up guy that I trust with any of my threading needs. He’s done many barrels for me. As for what to put, yes the three port brake will be more effective. I believe if you send it in with the barrel Morgan will thread it such that it will clock correctly without shims. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

Class 3 it is then. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. --------------- "Structural engineering is the art of moulding materials we don't understand into shapes we cannot precisely analyze, so as to withstand forces we cannot really access, in such a way that the community at large has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."

I had class 3 chop and thread my MPX barrel a couple months ago. Turn around time was about a week and a half including shipping. | |||
