Hey everyone, long time lurker first time poster. I recently purchased a CVA MR-X in .45, and it finally came in the mail a couple of days ago. Among the accessories I purchased for this, was an Anarchy Outdoors full port muzzle brake. So naturally when it came in (a few days after the gun) I went to install it. The mr-x comes with a threaded bergara barrel and a thread cover. I was able to get the thread cover off with just a little elbow grease, and some help with a rag/pliers in a few tight spots. After removing the cap, I noticed that the threads of the barrel and the cap itself were both a bit rusty. I cleaned up the loose debris and wiped down the threads, and tried to put the brake on just to see if it would go on easy enough, and it wont. It basically starts bun then stops almost immediately afterwards. My initial thought was the threads are different between the two, but this is a gun specific brake...So my question is, Is this a simple matter of a deep cleaning on threads of the barrel? What are the best methods/tools for cleaning said threads? If that's not the case, what actions can I take?
There does seem to be a couple burrs or dings (whatever you'd like to call them) on the threads of the barrel. Though whether those were already on there or happened somehow while removing the cap I can't say. I can't imagine forcing the brake on would be a good idea.
This is my first time installing a brake on a muzzleloader, and I would say I'm fairly new to this branch of guns. Unfortunately the military never covered muzzleloaders
