Hi all, as part of a project, I am adding a jungle carbine flash hider to a no 1 mark3 that has had the barrel drastically shortened- and to be on the safe side I want to make the pinned flash hider permanent- ergo I must weld, silver solder or braze it- How best to go about that and not screw it up- what should I worry about- since this should be visible, and I have experience brazing, that is my first idea, but should I worry about overheating it or warping the barrel? how to avoid this? it should be noted that I am only brazing on pins and the flash hider, not the barrel itself....
