Got a new Bergara BMP and was putting a Dead Air brake on it last night.
Barrel was vised and tightened down securely and brake was being installed using an armorers wrench (Like I have done numerous times before). Torque wrench set at 30 ft lbs and clicked just shy of 12' oclock. Set it to 35 ft lb to get it to aligned.
Got it almost timed, went to put the last turn on it and the damn brake broke. I mean it just cracked and the end fell off. I now have no idea how to get this brake off. There are no flat surfaces left due to where it broke. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe the brake had a problem, maybe I just put too much ass behind it. Regardless I am now lost.
Is it all now trashed, can I have the barrel cut down (it is currently 24"), anyone I can take it to?
Little humor.......I believe it will still work as a mount. Of course I am kidding.
Guys I am stumped and now have a $1300 paperweight. Any help appreciated it advance.
