Pinned flash hider/muzzle brake
Could someone please post a close-up image of a pinned and welded flash hider/brake that satisfies BATF regs? In particular for the AR-15 variants.
Thanks! Last edited by Noban; December 17, 2002 at 04:55 PM. |

A flash hider like the Vortex, for example, will not fly on a post ban no matter how it is attached.

Hank - I'm straight with that. I'm just interested how the pin/weld looks on a pre-ban barrel to bring to 16".
Thanks |

Gotcha Noban, You are wanting to know how to attach a muzzle brake to an 11 1/2" barrel and make it be a 16" + barrel. This is a true quandry to me as the addition of the 5 1/2" long AK style brake will increase the overall length of the firearm does it really increase the length of the barrel?

Hank - It's actually a 14.5" barrel (M4 profile) with a 1.5" Phantom flash hider.

Noban, Now we have a quandry and a legal problem.
The evil flash hider is a no no on a post ban. I don't have a picture of what you want but I might be able to explain permanently attached . It's easy, nothing is permanently attached because anything can be removed. "Not easily removed" would be better wording in the laws but the laws must always be vague and open to interpretation by the highest ranked judges and highest paid lawyers. HTH

1100 degree silver solder
or a blind pin that is welded over qualifies a "permanent" Quote:

I guess I'm not being clear.......
My barrel is a pre-ban, 14.5" 1/7 twist and I want to attach a 1.5" Phantom flash hider to bring it to 16". I fully understand the legalities of pre- and post ban requirement. I just wanted someone to post a picture of the pin and weld procedure so I can see what it looks like. Hey, I do appreciate the responses. Noban Last edited by Noban; December 23, 2002 at 04:56 PM. |
