GUNSMITHING SERVICES: Pin and TIG weld muzzle brake, flash hider, suppressor adapter

Price range: $140.00 through $200.00

SKU: GS-PIN-WLD Categories: ,

Description

Pinning and welding a muzzle brake, suppressor adapter, or flash hider is a method for a rifle barrel that measures less than 16″ to gain compliance with National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations. The process involves drilling a hole through the muzzle device and into a portion of the barrel so that a pin can be installed to permanently unite the two pieces. The pin is welded to the brake, making the fitment permanent.  It cannot be altered by hand without tools and significant effort.  Along with this, the item cannibalizes itself during removal.

The process is fundamentally simple, but there are some details to be aware of.  Titanium muzzle devices also require titanium pins for the welding portion of the service.  Sourcing pins of appropriate diameter has proven impossible, so we machine our own from ground stock made of 6AL4V.  Welding titanium is no issue for us.

Please note that this service only covers pin/weld operation.  Muzzle devices and the Threading service for the barrel are separate and listed in our Products and Gunsmithing Services page.
