[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing muzzle brake?

Can I install a brake myself? It seems as if all you have to do is drill a hole.

Is you barrel threaded? if not, theirs pin on brakes, you just put a dimple in the barrel where the set screw make contact.

Best to have a threaded barrel.

Nope, no threaded barrell. And I don't think I am allowed to thread my barrell (NJ resident).

So I would be able to install this myself? http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/brakes/iz-102660-prbf.asp

Or does the drilling have to be absolutely perfect and should I let Bushmaster do it for me?

Bushmaster will install it for free, but if i could do it myself I would rather not mail out my rifle.

I have two SOG A2 Bird Cage post ban muzzle breaks. It has six set screws. Let me know if you want some pictures. I'll sell them each for $25.00 shipped.
