    Re: Who can cut off and re-pin a muzzle device?

    I've removed welded, blind pins on other pieces of equipment before but not on muzzle comps. You can attempt it yourself it just depends on how handy you are & if you have access to the right tools.
    I used a dynafile to remove the weld, then drilled a pilot hole in the pin until the pin broke loose & spun. I then very lightly tapped a screw extractor into the pin & backed it out. I realize the pin is quite small on the comp & I'm also not sure how deep the weld is either. If the weld is somewhat shallow, the comp may be reusable. Just don't attempt to unthread it until the pin is removed.
    The pins I removed were about 1/4" in diameter so I was working on a much larger object, which made it fairly easy. I think it's possible on the comp but it will take some patients & a little dexterity.

    Anyway, just an idea.

    The same, but easier.. Bore the weld with a 9/64" drill to a depth of around half the thickness of the sleeve, check the piece for the tell-tale circle of a loose pin, and twist off. No damage to the barrel, minimal damage to the device, and what damage is done can be repaired in a flash when the device gets welded back on.

    Yep, that'll work too. Just gotta make sure you're relatively close to centered.

    This is what I did, and it went without a hitch.
