I just put the same Smith Enterprises brake on my 22" Norc. My question for you: how did you mount it given that you cut down your barrel? Did you have splines milled into the outside of the barrel and then used the standard castle nut to fasten? Or did you use another method? Please tell.
I want to put the brake on my shortie Norc, but don't know how to attach it given that it is now threaded and has no splines?
Oh, and Vengeance, I ordered mine direct from Smith by telephone and they mailed it direct. Wasn't even opened by customs - got lucky there as no 14% tax to pay. Ordering direct is better than through Brownell's b/c Smith only wants $100 US (Brownells wants $130), which also happens to be the maximum gun parts dollar value that can be ordered without any extra paperwork.

Yeah, Smith's ship to Canada now..For the 18.5'' installation of the CoastGuard brake is a mystery to me & the gunsmiths secret..I know I'll be using a new castle nut..All I care is it better be straight
I am putting a Smith's scope mount & a Leupold Mark 4 MRT 1.5-5 Illum glass on it, Skooch on CGN has a similar set-up.
Hope this helps.

Me thinks this has been brought up in the past, But your flash hider looks to have the wrong direction slots. If your rifling and your hider are opposing would it stay tight?

An hour west of the city..
Mine is from Jeff as well, and is also the "wrong" way compared to my Smith Vortex hider on my other M305. Wonder if this is really an issue.

Where does Jeff at Valley Gun get his Vortex f/h from - SmithEnterprises?
I find the Vortex has sharp edges and a tendency to snag and catch on bush and branches.
I too would like to install the Smith Coast Guard unit on my 18.5" done by Jeff at VG. Just can't seem to get ahold of him to ask him if the Coast Guard with thread on.
