Who in the local Eugene/ Springtucky area do you use to pin a FH on a barrel?

If no one does it locally, then who would be the nearest??? North or South?

Thanks for the help.

If it is just to get the barrel to legal length, consider silver soldering it on yourself..

IIRC, it has to be "permanently" attached. Generally, that means that you can't remove it with a wrench. Even a pinned FH can be lathe turned off the barrel, so I guess you just to figure out what you consider "permanently" means to the BATFE people.

I thought about silver soldering but read that it's very permanent and could damage the threads/barrel when removed. I'd like to keep my options open with pin and weld. At least then all you screw up is the FH when/if you go to remove it.

Locally try Tornado Technologies in Hillsboro, Oregon. It will cost you $35 from them.

Outside Oregon ship it to Adco Firearms in Sylvania, OH. It will cost you $30 from them (plus shipping).
