Thanks! It was front heavy with the bull barrel so i had to do something and I figure It will still be accurate till 400 yards.

It should be. It is capable of shooting under 1/2". When I was using my hand loads. But with shorter barrel there will be a little loss of velocity.

Installed JP Comp on Customers Mossberg .308

It was a pain in the azz.  Tapered barrels are hard to get aligned in the lathe correctly.
On top of that its a fluted barrel. 

Of course had to make a threaded adapter. Look no shims! or crush washers.

Then to make sure the comp was centered we had to have a special rod ground down to go in the barrel to make sure it had the .015" around the exit hole
not to affect the path of the bullet.

Hopefully testing it tomr at KHSC. Anyone going?  Need to borrow a bench for a few test shots and I'm out of there.

Very nice. That's one hell of a brake for a taper barrel.
