muzzle brakes ( breaks)

[beekeeper]

First time to ever fire a rifle with cast using a muzzle brake.
Got a face full of unburnet powder the first time but after that it seemed to go pretty good.
The M44 Mosin has a pretty good kick and is known for jumping up when fired.
With the Muzzle brake it sits steady and shoots much better.

Am not that proficient with the Surplus Powder yet so am ashamed of the target but it seems to be coming around.
Might be a good investment after all.
Only problem so far is getting the set screws to stay tight but have an idea on how to solve that.

Lock-tite? Make sure you get the right color. I can't remember for sure. Red if you want it to come off later. Blue to permanently set. I believe.

Other way blue is removable red is hard to remove as it takes extreme heat to break the bond. Blue is what to use.

242 or 222 are the low to removable strength glues, which are pretty much standard. These are purple or blue.

High strength glues come in different temperature varieties, the most common one is 272, a high strength high temp glue. These are red or black.

You might find the attached file interesting when choosing the right glue, because not all of them are oil resistant, for example.

Thanks for the guide. I've always thought about using "290", just a dab, on the join of a die and lock ring after it has been set.

I told you that I was not sure. Thanks for the correction.

Whoa. That has my attention. I may try that with red first.

Good info I am always learning. Thanks for the info.

What I really have thought about trying to find is a the product that leave a dab or bead across a given spot, one specific spot on the die and lock ring. If that dab or bead is broken, the two parts are no longer at the same setting.

It seems to me that "290" wicks into the threads and that is not exactly what I'm looking for.

Simple cheap nail polish?
