As above, unless you have gauges or wires there's no way to know exactly what you have going on. I would guess the smith unscrewed it and spun up his work and was going to torque it up before indexing the brake when the alarms started barking that this thing is too loose. A lot of Remingtons are sloppier than the broke chick in college but shoot good.


My complaint is not about the chamber end of the barrel as far as the local 'smith. That is totally on Pac-Nor. The idea he installed the brake at an angle to the bore is unacceptable. Not only that take a good look at the installation. There's actually a step down from the barrel before the threads go into the brake! Would you put something like this out?
