I don't think the brake that came with my VTR is doing anything. I'm thinking of cutting it off and threading it 5/8-24 for a real brake. Has anyone done this? Pictures?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Timing would be a bear
I have never seen it. Anyhow, I think you may be just as productive letting your smith play with drilling new ports...but I'll bet it is doing something as-is.

I have seen surpresors on them so dont know why you could not put a brake on one. But with that gun dont know why a brake would be needed.

Re: Thread a Rem 700 VTR?
I had a brake put on my VTR last year. However, it came with no brake on it originally. It was a 26" model. When my smith threaded it, the barrel wasnt even round. It was more.... egg shaped.
you can barely see it in the pic.. but its the only one I have

dpreston, that brake looks like it should be on there. It makes that barrel look good. Any way you could snap a closer pic of just the end? How well does it transition from the round brake back to the barrel?

my VTR barrel was round at the end. It didn't come with a brake on it. This is the only pic I had.

OK, I didn't know the longer barrels were round at the muzzle. Makes sense now. Thanks for the pic.

Re: Thread a Rem 700 VTR?
I had my buddy cut and thread my VTR to 5/8x24. I just put a round thread protector on it. It might be an acquired taste but after 5 minutes I stopped noticing it.
Here is a front pic.
