308 Muzzle Brake Timing Shims

#1 Post by SeaMonkey »

Good evening gents, could somebody please give me a heads up on where to purchase a set of muzzle brake timing shims for a .308 barrel?
Brownells sell them as a last resort but I was hoping for somewhere a little closer to home and quicker delivery if possible.

Thanks

Thanks for your quick response times guys, I should've thought of The Shooting Shed, especially as I'm in the same county.....D'oh

Did the ebay crush washers work out ok? Precise enough?


Thanks again

SeaMonkey, if you are in the same county and reasonably local call in and I can time it correctly whilst you wait instead of you having to resort to crush washers. We are in Binbrook.
