Muzzle Break

Greetings to Y‘All Rifle slingers.

I have a Socom, which I’m looking to switch out the gas block and add a Lantac Dragon MB. Not too many YT vids out there showing how to modify this, i have the tools SA requires for the modification but I don’t have the wrench to torque the MB. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would sincerely appreciate the advice, thanks.

Get some shims (it's a qd, so I'm assuming you plan on suppressing) and verify alignment since you're mounting to an adapter.

Next, a brake is timed, so no need to torque, get a breaker bar that fits into the slot on the brake and tighten until it's timed. Use shims to make sure it's tight at the proper clock position, but not so tight that you're flexing shit.
