Sako Finnlight 2

[Coulee Kid]

I have a stupid question. I bought a 300 wsm Sako Finnlight 2 that was threaded 1/2” by 28 for a suppressor. Can I put a muzzle break on it? The muzzle breaks I see for a 300 is 5/8”. I bought it for my kid because it was a good deal thinking I could put a break on it but then heard I might not be able to after I bought it. I should have looked into it more before I bought it. Thanks for the help.

You could always just take it to a good gunsmith and have them recut it and put a flush mount break on it.

Theres a few things you could do that should solve your dilemma

Have the threads cut off and re-threaded 5/×24

Use an adapter

Use a smaller caliber brake and have it bored out to .30 cal

Area 419 hellfire break. They have exactly what you want. Good stuff, I ran them a lot. You don't need to change anything. And the thread/ pitch combination is fine for the 300.

Could also go to a smith for a Hawkins Precision sporter type brake. The sporter barrels commonly use 1/2X28 when it's expected to be used with a brake and not a suppressor. Just be aware, don't get your barrel crazy hot, or you'll see some slight belling at the muzzle over time (you'd have to shoot long strings often, not the way an average hunting rifle gets shot). If you're concerned about it, you might be able to fit a 9/16x24, or go to Vias 1/2X32. Either will leave more wall thickness to resist the belling effect

Thanks everyone for the help. It is much appreciated.

I have this brake on a 300 win. Comes in your thread pitch.

Its great for taming recoil, but throws a decent amount of the blast back at you - I don't have enough experience with other brakes to compare its noise level to others....

Talk to this guy.... been super happy with assistance before. If they don't have the break you want, they can make one for you.
