Wait am I understanding something correctly. You torqued your brake to the end of the barrel with 30 ftlbs of torque?
If so I can understand how you jacked up your rifle and extention. That is way way way more torque then you should ever put on the end of a barrel.
And your upper clamp is the wrong tool for the job when it comes to torqeing muzzle devices.
You said you torque your barrel nut to 80 or more pounds and that just seems way over normal torque specs. My understanding is 35 to 65 pounds on the barrel nut torque.
Either way send the barrel back and let them make good on it. That's what you should have done to began with.
