    Question on the pin and weld method

    I am familiar with what ATF list as ways to secure a muzzle device.

    But a local gun smith says they been using this method, which is why I asking, is it legit?

    Instead of a pin, then thread the MD and use a set screw, then instead of welding, they fill it using JB Weld.

    Just wondering?

    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

    So no, JB Weld is not OK.

    Actually, what about silver soldering in a set screw? That would make it easier to remove than using a drill or cut off wheel.

    I just picked my jaw up off the ground. What is so hard about the concept of "pin and weld" that he does not understand? Permanently attached must only be for shits and giggles.

    The silver soldier is an idea but again its not supposed to be easy to remove....that is the whole point of pin and weld.

    But the ATF allows silver soldering the threads of the muzzle device so why not a set screw. Much easier to remelt

    Keep in mind that pinning and welding only takes me about 15 minutes. As for whether it's supposed to be easy or not, it's only supposed to be legal, easy doesn't even factor into the equation for if it's OK or not.
