At 27:41 in the video there is a brake shown on the rifle. I am guessing it was made by NEA as the Troy host admits that a "Canadian" company is making the parts. I am interested because the FSB has been removed and the FSN-01k doesn't have a fsb to index brakes. Anyone heard or know of this brake that NEA has designed. I would really like to get a brake that doesn't need a set screw but index's properly.


On another note I saw a new brake made by BC Tactical that is two parts and designed to index without an fsb, if I am not mistaken.


I think I screwed the threads on my rifle last weekend tightening the brake too hard.

When I thread the FSN brake I find metal shavings afterwards and it requires full force to tighten. My NEA brake tightens easier but I still find shavings after removal. Do you guys know what I have to do to fix this?

Chase the threads with a die or clean them up with a file.

That's not a NEA brake. Don't know what make it is, but it's for mounting a suppressor.
 
Would a jam nut work? If it does then I may have one for you. I had contemplated taking my FSB off and was told that an SKS jam nut would work after. I ordered it from CNC Warrior. I ended up keep my FSB on so if it'll work for you and I can find it in my toolbox you can have it. Hopefully one of the gurus here can chime in and confirm. I know it just screws on to the existing threads.

Don't have a die and never used one before.... I think. On the other hand I have a few files. I will try slowly filing to see if there is improvement. I wonder how I can prevent this problem from happening again.
 
Did you get some debris jammed in there when you tightened it up? The threads on the muzzle look banged up pretty good. Maybe there were metal shaving in the brake or on the muzzle?

I can't imagine you did that just by tightening the brake. Clean it up and it shouldn't happen again.

that doesnt look like much damage , when tightening a set screw into the thread thats the minimal damage to expect.

i dremel a deeper grove on mine.
 
What Curtton said, take it down below the threads and wide enough for the set screw, then run a chase down it or a thread file to straighten the threads and youre good to go.
 
I never had any debris in there. Cleaned meticulously after each outing and re-attached break. Last weekend I made sure to torque it big time cuz the un indexed nea brake was throwing my shots all over the place. I wanted to make sure this was super secure when indexed. I will deepen the hole but what dremel bit should I use? Do you have a pic?

Also I agree. Not nea brake. Looks like a surefire.

D'oh. I forgot you had the set screw.
 
I may take you up on that Satain. PM inbound.


Curtton, what was the dremel bit you used? My bit selection is limited so i want to know which one I need to buy.
