Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
AI threads are M18-1.5. They're already larger than 5/8. Badger Ordnance makes a break very similar to AI's with 5/8-24 threads.

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
Dave I concur. Badger makes a similar looking brake.
I think Mile High sells AI Brake's if I remember right????

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
Why do you want one? I love AI, but there are better brakes on the market. Or are you trying to use an existing brake that you have.

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
I was looking at a used AI barrel that had a break already on it and wanted to have it cut down to 22". I have a suppressor threaded for 5/8 24. I wasn't sure if the break could be rethreaded to match.

Badger FTE. We prolly install 10 a month. Made right next door to us so if we ever have a ? Or issue its a 100' walk to a solution.
Just know that the thread profile is a bit different from most brake designs. There's a stepped shoulder behind the threads. Your can will prolly still work, but it may look a little weird.
Good luck.

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
Take a look at the MRAD brake by R & D precision. Does not require the FTE step. Weighs alot less. Easy on/off for cleaning and can. I wish Randy had been selling them a few years ago.

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
just a few lines of 100% hand written code.
switching to chamfer tool.
done.
same mounting dimensions as a 5/8-24 badger fte.
but i have no plans of making another one.

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
Honestly I have to tell you to ditch the AI brake and ditch the Badger FTE suggestions too.
Get it threaded 5/8x24 and get either the brake above from Randy (HateCA here) or the one I'm using right now is the Benchmark barrels muscle brake. Both are lighter than the FTE, don't have to be timed or have the barrel stepped and work equally as well (I think the Benchmark works even better, but no data to prove that).

Re: Accuracy international muzzle break
Thanks guys. I have a rifle with a badger break. I had LA Precision make a thread protector that covered up the step. I did not like the way the barrel looked when I did not have the break on. I was not sure if the AI had the same step in the barrel.
