No forms.
Just remember to have your barrel nut and gas block on before you pin and weld. |

14.5" + 2.5"= 17" - 1/2" or so of thread overlap =16.5". So yes you are OK.
Disclaimer; this was calculated using old style math not that new and improved version my kids come home with. |

Isn't that the truth. I taught 5th grade math 10 years ago. My daughter is now in 5th grade and I can't help her with it. I don't get it. |

If you look around some retailers like Rainier will say how much overall length is added with a muzzle device.

Listed Barrel Length + Listed Muzzle Device Length + Washer or Shim Thickness - Muzzle Threads (0.625") = Barrel O.A.L.
NOTE: Before doing pin and weld; get verified measurements before proceeding by measuring barrel length using a dowel, and verified measurement of how far back muzzle threads are cut back because some barrels are cut back less than the specification listed above. My 14.5" barrel actually measured 14.625", and I used a B.E. Meyers 249F Flash Hider which gave me a barrel o.a.l. of 16.875" (16-7/8"). 14.625" + 2.75" + 0.125" - 0.625" = 16.875" |

Exactly how deep does the pin have to go into the barrel? Can you use a set screw and dimmpled barrel and weld over the set screw?

I'm not aware of any listed depth, just that it has to be below the height of the threads to that it cannot be unscrewed.
Double-check that your barrel+muzzle device will get you to 16." It would really suck to pin and weld your barrel and have it measure 15.9." |

Again thanks for the additional oversight that I've been lacking. Will post updates as the parts come in and the build starts to take off.

I drilled 3/32" of an inch into the barrel, measuring from the top of a thread; I set my drill press feed to stop at this depth to prevent me from breaking through into the bore. Also, after I drilled out the flash hider and barrel, I cut off the shank of the drill bit I used to use as the blind pin. |

You can also use this VooDoo barrel that comes with the flash hider already pinned and welded...the OD is .74" so your barrel nut and gas block can be installed over it.

You can do silver solder yourself
That is what I would do but I have the torch already |

Quote HistoryIt's nice, but I have plans to mount a suppressor on this stick. Thanks though. |
