This project is not worth the time or money. You'd be better off just purchasing a new muzzle break.

That brake will likely be harder than a bulls balls due the heat treatment. I doubt you will find a machinist who is worth his salt willing to accept this project.

It can be done, but you only get one shot at it.
.56" inside diameter for 9/16 .498" inside for 1/2 |

What material is it? Stainless I'm guessing?

I've got an email into a gunsmith that has done it before. Hopefully this is the ticket.
I think its stainless, its the OPS Inc 12th model brake/suppressor mount. |

Their other brakes are 304 stainless, if the 12th is then it's no bigger deal than drilling her out and running a tap through her. I guess you could get fancy and bore it out to make sure it's concentric since it's a suppressor mount. I doubt the drill is going to walk off in a hole that is that big already though.

I can do it for you. Have all the correct tooling for that. I will use an internal threading bar on my lathe set up on centerline of bore.

Looks to me like you could do this fairly easily.
the nominal minor diameter for a 9/16-24 is .522 (+/- .005) from the machinery's handbook. That means you only have to mill off the threads for the 1/2-28 plus another .011" per side of material. Than run a tap down it. Shouldn't be to hard with a lathe, even if it is stainless steel.... may have to go slow and use lots of cutting fluid, but doesn't sound to far fetched to me. |

Have you tried calling and checking to see if Allen has a 9/16"-24 brake on the shelf?
