Are there any pictures out there of the muzzle brake removed from the barrel on the Pershing or Super Pershing? Would I be right in assuming that the muzzle brake would be screw threaded onto the barrel. I want to show it removed.

It is nearly indistinguishable from this 76mm:



The step between the unmachined tube and the machined area is slightly larger (more prominent) but the pitch of the thread is the same and the overall proportions are similar.
