    Default Pin & Weld??

    My understanding is for a 14.5in barrel the break has to be pinned and welded (made permanent) for it to legally pass as a rifle. If this is the case, is there anyone out there in the Berks area or surrounding who can do it or knows of a place that does. Thanks in advance.

    The break has to bring the overall length to 16". I think most breaks will put you over that (I know the regular A2 will)

    Looking on google, looks like Superior Gunsmithing does pin and welds

    "Brake"... it's a muzzle brake.

    Unless it's BROKEN, then...

    The standard A2 flash hider will bring you up about a 1/4" short, you will need one of these if going A2 style :

    Yea, but I dont wanna be limited to stock options. Not completely out-ruling it if I can get my hands on a nice adjustable brace. Plus, I have no idea what pin and weld cost, i would think it cant be much but if its damn near what the barrel cost it aint happening lol.

    The overall length of the muzzle attachment means nothing, Its the unthreaded length that is critical. the only way to be sure is thread it on properly tightened and indexed as it should, drop a rod down the barrel that rests against the bolt face, mark it at the end of the hider or brake, that length needs to be 16" or longer to be non SBR legal

    If you have a welder just do it yourself. It's an easy task and only takes a couple minutes if you have the tools and some small gauge round stock.
