[CJB1911]

Anyone know of a gunsmith that can pin and weld a flash hider in the NOLA area?

Thanks!

uhhh what?

It's on multiple pages of the NFA handbook on the BATF website, but I cut and pasted this off of page 5:

"The ATF procedure for measuring barrel length is to measure from the closed bolt (or breech-face) to
the furthermost end of the barrel or permanently attached muzzle device. Permanent methods of
attachment include full-fusion gas or electric steel-seam welding, high-temperature (1100°F) silver
soldering, or blind pinning with the pin head welded over. Barrels are measured by inserting a dowel rod
into the barrel until the rod stops against the bolt or breech-face. The rod is then marked at the
furthermost end of the barrel or permanently attached muzzle device, withdrawn from the barrel, and
measured."

Full fusion gas or electric steel-seam welding = TIG, MIG, etc...
High temp silver solder (1100 degrees) = silver brazing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'm super ignorant when it comes to that stuff...


Well other stuff too...

I never realized that's how they measured. Not trying to hijack your thread, but I guess under that method of measurement, a revolver style rifle would include the length of the cylinder in the barrel.

Dunno, but that would make sense.

What are you pinning to what?

 

[kengel2]

I used ADCO for my pin/weld job, but that was a few years ago. I dont know if anyone started doing it around here.

 

[CJB1911]

What are you pinning to what?

A FH to a lw 14.5 barrel

I can do it.Give me a pm about it.

Will it be a suppressor mount? If so, make darn sure everything is concentric first.

Good point, don't want the end of the can going down range with the bean

I would have the threads checked by someone who specializes in that, then.

 

[CJB1911]

Is that still a problem if you are using the factory(BCM) threads?

 

[poor_shot]

you shouldn't have a problem w/ BCM barrels from what i understand. i've never checked the threads on my AR's and threw the flash hider right on and put on the suppressor. i do look through the bore of the rifle w/ the suppressor on though to make sure there's no obvious obstruction.

Can you do mine?
