If I had to I could have a piece machined for this purpose.


I'd just would find a load that would work with the shorter/boss removed barrel.

replacing it with the CR, I think I'd just save my money and avoid that. I think it was one of those marketing gimics that got me.....its on my .300 win mag, i shoot 180gr from it, they give you recommended settings but they don't give you for every load out there, I figur ejust remove it altogether. that or just leave it.

Also wouldnt exposed threads probably be more suseptable to weather? since its probably raw steel, not blued etc....thats why I was thinking a nut to cover the threads and maybe some lock tite would be the trick.

Would like to buy the tip from you if you still have it message me back mine was stainless steel

It's blued underneath. Just get out a hacksaw wack off the barrel after the graduation marks and then using a file and a cone shaped dremel bit and grind a good chamfer in the end of that barrel.

That looks like a great way to ruin your rifle.

Do you do a lot of shooting at 4,000yrds?

‘Cuz digging up a 10yr old thread to ask an old member about a BOSS brake is certainly taking a long shot...

There's only three practical choices here that will maintain the integrity of the barrel. Either buy the BOSS CR (for like under $30), take it to a qualified Gunsmith and have the barrel cut and crowned, or take it to a Gunsmith and buy a new barrel.

Anything else is half assed.
