[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1883212, member: 68758"] So... I typed like 3 paragraphs as to why/how this could happen with a brake not installed correctly. Then, in looking for some more info- I came across this, go to post #24 on page 2 and what follows.... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/howa-randy-newberg-edition.291886/page-2[/URL] Seems pretty obvious to me that Howa has a problem here- that brake must be some cheap *** Chicom sheet metal for the muzzle blast to be blowing it apart. Never seen this before. Yeah, brakes end up in pieces and downrange from lousy muzzle threading jobs that aren't concentric to the bore, or brakes that haven't been opened up enough over bullet diameter- but separating due to muzzle blast? Suggest you contact Howa to log the complaint. Then, get yourself a good quality brake to replace that ***. I'd recommend a Harrel's radial, or Shrewd as they're the same style, but they need to be opened up to correct bore size by a smith. I couldn't find the thread spec online, but looks like 9/16"-28, maybe? [/QUOTE]
