I'm getting a buddies brand new Browning Hell's Canyon X-Bolt rifle up and running. It's a 28 Nosler. I rummaged around and fund enough components to load some shells for it, and we're getting close to blast-off.
It comes with a factory brake, and it's not installed. I thought I'd ask if there is anything I need to do besides screw it on and go shooting. Some of my questions are... should I use any lube or anti-seize? Maybe blue Loc-Tite?? How much torque? Should I stick a good fitting shaft or punch through two holes and seat it??
Thanks in advance for any advice. I've never owned a brake, and am interested in how much this thing will tame this very light-weight, cannon. jd
