I finally got my gauge made. It measures 1.706 and the bolt won't close. A factory hor blk loads fine so I think I'm ready to roll.

The Rhineland webpage shows 3/4-24 threads and I just got an email advertisement from them that states “please note we are using the 11/16-24 threads on these new rifles” Well, that would have been good to know before I ordered my Ross brake!! Imagine how pissed I am right now! Thanks for letting me vent. Bubba

This is no fault of Ross Brakes. He shouldn’t have to loose money from his pocket for others errors. He still has the best brakes on the market for the price point. He has my business for life.
24hrs and no reply from Rhineland. I really hope this ends up positive because I had plans to make other .450’s with Rhineland barrels. If not, I will never look back and publish my experience everywhere I can. Stay tuned.

Still have not heard from Rhineland. Today, I added 3/16” steel rods to the fore end and epoxied everything solid including the removable trigger guard. The cheap savage Tupperware is now very solid. Also removed recoil pad, added a mercury recoil reducer, and filled the cavity with expanding foam encapsulating the mercury reducer. Placed the recoil pad back on and let it cure. Mounted the Nikon last night so we are getting very close to test fire time! Will reassemble tomorrow and maybe head to the club... if it warms up! Aging bones don’t like temps in the teens.
