    The Pin Job

    I don't quite understand the "pin job". Can you tell me how it works and if there is any way I can avoid it? I'm sorry I can't elaborate any more, I'm being watched.

    i'm not sure what you're talking about but it probably belongs in m4 technical forum not general discussion.

    jeez...you don't know when to quit, do you?
    Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, “Baa.” Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.

    Quit what? I'm confused. Quitting something in regards to the pin job? Drilling maybe?

    If your barrel is under the 16" minimum then you need a flash hider/compensator permantly attached to the barrel by drilling a hole thru the flash hider/compensator and partially into the barrel then a blind pin is installed and welded over so you may not remove it or the other option is to silver solder it on. The way to avoid it is apply on a Form 1 for a short barrel rifle and pay the $200 for the tax stamp wait to be approved or own a pistol marked lower reciever.

    I too assume you mean pinning a muzzle device of some kind.

    As mentioned above. Unless you are in a ban state, or you are trying to bring a sub 16" barrel out to legal length it isn't really needed.

    As BushmasterAR15 mentioned it is used to (for all intents and purposes) permanently affix the muzzle break, comp, flash suppressor, whatever to the end of the barrel where it can not be readily removed.

    Drill hole through muzzle attachment and partway into barrel. Drive in pin. Typically weld over pin.

    If you flesh out your profile a little bit, we may have a better idea if you were living in a ban area, or you could post the reasons for the "pin job". I don't really like pinned muzzle devices because it can make it very difficult to impossible to perform some barrel and upper work, like attaching some FF tubes.

    Also on an unrelated note... You also seem to be coming across fairly mockingly toward a mod. Prob not a real good idea. But what do I know...

    Good luck with your "pin job". Hope we answered your question.

    Walking the tight rope on day one are we?

    This is a sophisticated, yet often fun forum where we deal with things way different than TOS. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

    What is it with you people following me around? You're nothing but trouble makers. If you had any intelligence you might not "read into" my words. ASK if you don't know what I mean, but don't read into it.

    "I can't elaborate now, 'Im being watched" was in reference to the gov'ment tapping my internets. After Leavenworth they don't like me "asking a lot of questions on these highly professional gun sites" and if I were to continue writing at that moment who knows what would happen. Some of you may understand.

    Dude,

    Don't take this the wrong way but you are coming off as;

    A. Some immature teenager who created a profile here.

    B. Someone who is a little loony.

    No one really cares if your wife is giving you crazy stares. If you have valid questions or comments feel free to post. There have been plenty of people already who have offered advice. Maybe had you posted your question coherently in the beginning or waited for a more opportune time then this would be a moot point. Something to think about..............

    "I can't elaborate now, 'Im being watched" was in reference to my wife giving me glares from across the room. She doesn't like the time I "waste on these stupid gun sites" and if I were to continue writing at that moment I would be in the dog house. Some of you with wives may understand.
