Thread: Muzzle Breaks

Have recently purchase a gun that's been fitted with a Dean Maisey varimax muzzle break and just wondering with out damage how hard are they to remove.
Cant unwind it by hand and unsure if its been lock tight on. I have read on his site about no having to lock tight on. Never used a muzzle break before but the varimax seems quite a clever idea and still would like to put it to one side for future use.
More then likely take it to True Flite @Antwalsh when are you guys back on board?

Should undo? I had one and was easy to swap on and off. It is a good brake. Have tried a dowel or even a screwdriver (wrapped in insulation tape) through the ports for leverage?

Reverse thread or a lock nut maybe

stilsons

Was going to try that but thought id ask here first. will try and if it doesn't work i will go see true flite when they open. Going to end up putting a Dpt on it but would like to keep the break for future use

I would have thought it would be a standard thread so you can put a suppressor on it, one would have thought

@Tikka7mm08 all sorted now it was on there very firm. Had a got layer of lube under it which is good and no damage done by me.
I will still go see true flite once they open and work out what thread pitch is on the end and suppressor options.
