I have a FMP G3S that I wish I had Loctite'd the flash hider on.
During a rather "excided" blast of bump firing, the flash hider unscrewed itself and I shot it off.
I didn't realize this until I was done firing. The barrel threads are screwed up beyond repair.
It look's like they were peeled from the end of the barrel.
My major concern is that I "tweaked" the end of the barrel. Not just screwed up the threads, but "bent" the end of the barrel.
I haven't shot it since.
I feel ashamed of myself for doing something this foolish.
I ordered a Smith Vortex to replace the FMP flash hider.
I am torn between just having the barrel rethreaded, or having it shortened to 16" and having the Vortex perm attached.
Any help would be welcome.
I will post some pics as soon as possible.
Thanks,
