i recently recived a mauser in 338-06 it has a muzzel brake on it i was wondering whats involved with re moving the brake and re crowning the rifle.about how much this cost any advice or input would be appreciated thanks

I hear a hacksaw and a pocket knife do a good job.

However, for piece of mind and appearance sake, a hacksaw to remove it and somewhere between 40.00 and 75.00 for a good machine finish.

It's too bad that someone vandalized your gun before you bought it. The necessary corrective surgery will leave the barrel forever abbreviated, but that and the very nominal cost of the surgery are small prices to pay to rid yourself of that malignant appendage.

It shouldn,t take a good gunsmith any time at all to cut that off your barrel,and recrown it!! The going rates are from $35-$95 depending in your geographical area. van

thanks for the input like the gun, like the caliber hate the brake!!
