Re: Is it really that expensive to install a muzzle brake?

Ok, sorry for not giving enough information. Yes, it is an AR, and my barrel is already threaded and it is not going to be pinned. It is set for it to just be screwed on. My girlfriend is just saying I should take it to the gunsmith to have it done due to me having lack of experience. Also, I don't have a bench or something well enough to set a vice block on (I know you are saying I don't need one but wish I still did though). I saw the wrench at my local academy for about $20-$30.

I have a Spike's Tactical Dynacomp Extreme Brake Black 5.56mm NATO with a Spikes Tactical ST- FN Cold Hammer Forged 16 Mid-Length Barrel (5.56). I would like to do it myself for the learning experience, but always wanted to clarify with other people on this.

I also am pretty sure you are right Rex B..It was a Sunday so the places were closed and unable to ask. I got a hold of the Arm Rooms GS and they said $35 for the job.

Is it really that expensive to install a muzzle brake?

Hello, I've been looking at gunsmith prices for installing a muzzle brake. Is it actually around $100 or more to install one? I've seen $175, $200. Seems like too darn much for that small labor. I did a post earlier about muzzle brake installation, but no answers. So, what are all the tools I would need to install the muzzle brake myself?
Thanks
