[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Muzzle device wobble

Posted: 3/4/2008 3:16:09 PM EDT

Just took out my new SLR-107CR. Perfect function, and shot really well. Noticed during cleaning the krink muzzle device wiggles. Does this mean my barrel threads are screwed up?

A tad bit of left-to-right wobble is normal, but if it's alot, then there may be a problem.

I also bought a SLR107 and asked the same question a few weeks ago. Mine moves also.

Everyone's will move slightly, unless it was re-timed, or just a coinsidance that it is tight already. It is not a problem, unless the bullet touches the exit hole of the muzzle brake which will throw the bullet about 8-10" off at 100y.

Slight wobble is normal, excessive movement is a problem. If it bothers you, run a few lengths of teflon tape around the thread before screwing the muzzle device on.

I am not even sure where to begin to adress that statement, but would like to know how you came up with a consistant 8-10" for trajectory change on that one! If you have projectiles hiting the baffle on a 74 comp, you better fucking do something about it asap! a glancing impact is serious, but its possible with a few thousanth of an inch change, you could end up (best case scenerio) ripping apart the comp and front site threads, worst case scenerio you could get somone hurt.
