Thread: Reputable Gunsmiths

I mentioned it after but didn't push it at the time as it works still.

Issue is now I have another barrel thats 21mm at the muzzle and the T2 needs to be full-sized to work so I'm going to have to buy another...
I'll pm you which Smith as I'm sure they will come up in this thread.

Why wont it work? Will just look odd

It will function yes but it radiused (which is stupid as it more work and looks ugly) not even a straight down to 16mm and will look ridiculous. On a 21 inch barrel. The issue is that I clearly stated and wrote and underlined not to taper the brake as I knew it was going to be destined for another rifle.
