Ok folks, here is the deal. I have a stainless mini-14 ranch rifle. I have a butler creek folder and a Redfield scope (2-7X33 accu-range) on her and it is great.
Now the dilemma...
I purchased a Masen muzzle brake a while back and never put it on. Now I find out that the pin hole and the gap in the barrel are off substantially (for this anyway, close to a quarter inch). It is seated as far as it will go down on the barrel.
So. I was wondering if anyone knows a good solution to this problem? Besides an AR that is? I have 4 of them and that will be fine for now...
I thought about getting a muzzle champfering/crowning lit and just taking it down until it is where I need it to be, but I don't know if that will mess anything up. Besides, it is the only 5.56 rifle I have that does not have a threaded barrel on it, or isn't already crowned correctly so I did not want to buy a single use item at $XX.xx
The brake would not support any "modding" so that is out too.
Any suggestions? Something I haven't thought of to remedy the situation here?
Also, I somehow managed to completely destroy my flip up rear sight. Anyone know where I can get the whole assembly?
Thanks in advance...
