Re: How would you feel if your FFL...
I think you are onto something...Afterall, we are talking about an inch and a half...who wouldn't want to add another inch and a half to their barrel. Doesn't a longer barrel make your rifle more appealing, make you a better shooter...give you an advantage over others with "shorter" barrels? Good thing we aren't talking about a HBAR....that, in itself, is a completely different story...Glad they aren't checking our barrels for girth...
And I thought all barrels were created equal...

Re: How would you feel if your FFL...
Here is my thing. Have any of you tried to remove a muzzle device that was set in place with rockset? First time I tried I swore I was going to break the damn gun. I don't know what kind of force they wanted to see to justify that it was pinned and welded but if it is more than what rockset requires I would be very upset that they were torquing on the gun without me present.
Long story short the FFL should have called to see if the customer would have rather sent it back or other options. Let's face it wrenching on an MD is a little extreme for a transfer. I agree the FFL needs to use their judgment on most typical transfers; this was far from typical.

Check the muzzle device for the weld or braze near the threads. Has the weld and is not loose (try to turn it by hand back and forth) that will tell the FFL what they need to know. Even blind pinned you can tell if you know what you are looking at. Wrenching on shit that isn't yours without permission is just a chance at idiot marks, broken parts and problems with the customer. Though considering some of the people that work at gun shops, they might not have any idea what they are looking at. So the monkey strength test is all they know.

Re: How would you feel if your FFL...
For what its worth, since posting this I have stripped everything down to parts, (to include pulling the barrel) soaked all small parts in hoppes #9, wiped down receivers and large parts, and reassembled everything to proper torque values.
Today I zeroed the rifle, using the RIBZ method. (Really liking the versatility of the a2 irons, btw.) Everything is functional and good to go. Ran 150 rounds of xm193 between that and one other rifle.
Also, I took a good look at the muzzle device under good lighting, and there are two visible welds.
