I wouldn't expect that to prevent it from being twisted off if you tried hard enough. Use carbide and you can get it off. Drilling it is going to be difficult at best with a small weld on 4150. I wouldn't trust that to be legal. It doesn't take very long to weld over the top.
Thanks for the reply's.
What diameter drill bit should I use?

A piece of inconel welding rod works just fine.
I did 'em with 1/8".
I haven't dealt with inconel rod but most welding rods are relatively soft, and I'd rather have the pin hard (so that, if they try to remove it, it doesn't deform and let it move).
I use 3/32 or thereabouts.
Thanks guys.

There's a few good reasons why some would tend to prefer an application that induces minimal heat with the issues associated with that and maintain ATF compliance.
Mithril, no doubt.
I used an Allen screw. I drilled and tapped the flash hider and drilled an aligning hole into the end of the barrel. I screwed in the Allen screw until it was tight (not farmer tight) and then I filed off the portion where the Allen wrench inserted and made it smooth. I do need to touch it with a welder at some point in the near future but otherwise it can't be removed without drilling it out. I guess everyone has their method.
