Any experience with Witt Machine or a bolt on break?

read a bunch about these and it seems this is the only clamp on break anyone has ever recommended, but that being said I am still not liking the idea much.

Any one have experience with them, good or bad?

Apparently no one in NOLA can thread a barrel at a reasonable cost.

Thanks

Funny you mentioned the Witt brake. I was just reading this morning about one on a Remington 700 that got launched down range. It was a tapered barrel and care has to be taken that it clamps on along the entire surface area, not just "feels tight" since it can just be grabbing at the back end and not the front. Pressure will blow it clean off. The suggestion was to call Witt ahead of time with the exact measurements when you place the order and use blue loctite as per instructions. As far as clamp on brakes go they seem good to go, just install them properly.

What do you consider a reasonable cost to thread a barrel?

not $350 like I was quoted on the "westbank"

Jims in BR is very reasonable. I just found him today.

$350 is too much
