Press fitting question.

427 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  alfajim
I want to press and pin a muzzle brake on to a bare barrel. The barrel diameter is .580 inch. I plan to cool it down in a bucket of ice and heat up the muzzle brake.
What does the I.D. of the muzzle brake need to be? I do not have a shop press. But I do have a rubber mallet. :)

Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

.5785 worked for me just make sure to keep heat on it untill it is in place or the bfh will be needed.
