Default nice work

Nice work Rob. Without the correct size spacer/washer (if you will), the attachment and barrel end will not withstand the pressure associated with the discharge of a live round. Perhaps more noticeable when the Canadian style is used, as the appearance of being "level" goes beyond aesthetics when firing. Particularly in sandy conditions . . .

When I shot mine on a nice spring day, the round muzzle brake was throwing back pieces of ice the size of my fist. I think I will have to check the orientation of mine and perhaps add a washer if necessary.
