I have a Remington 700 SPS (ADL) in 30-06. Its unmodified thus far other than having a Zeiss scope put on it... meaning there is no front site... just a clean, smooth parkerized barrel. I was looking at muzzle brakes and found that NcStar sells two clamp-on style muzzle breaks. There's the AM44 and the AMSKS8. The AM44 is for a Mosin Nagant M44. The AMSKS8 is for an SKS. Both the M44 and the SKS are 30 calibers rifles (well, technically 7.62, but that's still .30 cal by everyone's measurements). I'm wondering if either of these might fit on the barrel of my 700? Problem is I can't find anywhere that lists the outer diameter of the barrel of my 700, nor the Nagant, nor the SKS and NcStar doesn't publish the inside diameter of their clamp-on brake. I can find them both on Amazon for $5 each plus $5 shipping... so for $15 I'm willing to take a little risk, but why spend the money if they won't fit. So I've got three questions for the forum:
1) Does anyone know the outer barrel diameters of an SKS or a Nagant or the Remington 700 SPS 30-06 and the inside diameters of one of the NcStar brakes?
2) Does anyone know if these brakes will fit onto my 700?
3) Perhaps as an alternative, does anyone of another clamp-on style brake that will work with my 700? I'm looking to avoid the gunsmithing, drilling, threading route
