Muzzle brake

[Duck tape]

Hi there, did a quick search on the subject with no find.

My question is:On a barrel that is threaded to accept an aftermarket muzzle brake, lets say i want to install one with only side ports or holes, how do i know if the unit will stop turning at exactly the right spot so the exit ports are on the side?
Do they comme with some type of shims?
Is the threading on all barrels standard?

Im i making sense?

It's called timing. Some come with crush washers or shims. Other you turn down the neck to get it to clock properly.

What do you mean by turning down the neck to get it to clock properly?

a thread rotates as it goes up/down the helix. You change the starting engagement angle so when it bottoms out on the shoulder of your barrel, the orientation is correct (horizontal)

Get a self timing brake.

Just look up a self timing brake. You will see exactly how easy it is to set up. There are a lot of different styles now readily available.
