I pinned and welded an extended flash suppressor to a barrel yesterday to make it a legal length. Everything seemed fine, but then I looked through the barrel an saw that the pin went into the bore slightly. Its very slight and just thought it was dirt at first. Is there anything that I can do or is this barrel junk now? Thanks Sorry, it's junk. At least that is my opinion. You can salvage the barrel for another build though. Have Adco chop and thread the barrel behind the intrusion. |

you could drill out the pin and repin it without it protruding. it may not have much of an impact like a gas port.

May shoot slightly to the pin side. If you did it to someone else's barrel, then you should buy them a new barrel and practice on your barrel until proficient.

I wouldn't call the barrel "junk," .... Just a little bit shorter and a little lighter in the pocket book (unless you have a lathe). |

I'd suspect the later, considering the location is so close to the muzzle. I would not be content with this plan of action, especially on a retro build that requires leg work and attention to detail.

I would be wary of gas escaping from the hole left in the barrel after you re-pin it. If you go this route, be very careful when you shoot it for the first time. The extra escaping gas near the gas port could cause some cycling issues at the lest or damage to something at the worst. If there is no gas leaking for the first 100rds or so then it should be fine. I know I may be a buzz kill, but I don't take chances with damaged barrels. Barrels are going to be pretty cheap with labor day coming up. I know Primary Arms is having a big labor day sale. Numrich has a pinned to 16", 14.5" barrel with an izzy flash hider for $130. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1503160.htm |

I ordered a new flash suppressor for it. Will use a hex screw instead of a pin this time. I am hoping that there will be no effect as the bullet as it leaves the barrel. |

I misunderstood. I was thinking the botched pin job was for the front sight post. If it is near the end of the barrel and the new pin and muzzle brake will cover it, then it will be ok, just make sure there is no intrusion into the actual bore.

Ignore anyone that says the barrel is ruined/accuracy will be awful. NOBODY can tell you if it will shoot accurately or not, you will have to check it to know for sure. Just remove the botched pin/'hider, install another and pin it in another location, weld/smooth it down.

Just an update. I removed the old pin and ordered a new extended A2 flash suppressor from BCM. This time I drilled out the existing hole and used an 8-32 tap to use a 8-32 x 3/16 HEX screw instead of the tiny pin that they supplied. I then welded over the hole to permanently attach the flash suppressor. Took the rifle to the range and it shot PERFECT tight groups. Thanks for all of your help and opinions on what I should do.

Honestly, you were good to tell the person what happened, but you should have said you will be replacing the barrel at no charge to make up for it.
Even though he said he was "happy" with it, I don't believe he was 100% fine with the outcome. It still doesn't change the fact you messed up the barrel and should have replaced it. Just my 2 cents though. |

I did absorb the cost of replacing the flash suppressor and the materials necessary to make the repair (tap & drill). The end product was exactly what he wanted, an M4 replica that will shoot the wings off a fly. |

Covering the hole with the flash hider and saying 'It may have an extra hole in the barrel near the muzzle, but at least it shoots good' is not acceptable for a gunsmith to say to a customer. It should have been replaced and done properly, period. |

Covering the hole is not 'fixing it' as far as accidentally drilling into the barrel. The hole will still accumulate powder and copper jacket residue. Anyone who argues this is an acceptable "repair" should not be working on firearms. |

How am I here just to "stir the shit" when pointing out a sub-standard repair? Mistakes happen, I wasn't arguing against that fact, or saying that the OP should have never tried to do it himself. I simply pointed out that the repair (just covering the hole), was not an acceptable repair, and the barrel should have been shortened or replaced. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Damn straight, that's the bottom line here. Two buddies get together. The buddy with the barrel wants to save a few bucks over sending the work off to a professional and the non-professional hobbyist buddy offers to take a whang at it. We've all done similar. Under those circumstances, both buddies share equal responsibility for the mistake and if both parties are happy with the fix, ain't nobody's business but their own. This other guy ain't here for nuthin' but to stir the shit, ARKAR. Just sayin'.

The parties involved, of which you are not one of, have arrived at what is, for them, an acceptable solution to their dilemma. Whilst you, who are not involved, repeatedly deem it unacceptable. Ya follow?

I bought a barrel the other day it had a hole all the way through from the chamber into the muzzle and I was pretty pissed off There it is! |

Good excuse to build that XM177 or GAU5A project that you've subconsciously been wanting to do.....
