Ken,
Any of the weld/pin combination type methods are acceptable. It just has to be what they consider "permanent", or can't be removed with a tool without rendering the weapon usless type. None of the glue-on/epoxy/locktite type methods are accepted by the BATF. You can do a search on the web for BATF rulings and this is covered. You can probably find this covered somewhere in the older postings on this board even. Good luck. DK |

I can do it myself once I know what"approved" method to use. I am a gunsmith albeit a correspondence course. I worked in a shop for 18 months and should probably know the answer to this question already. Guess I should call the nearest ATF office....I just don't want to.

The methods I've seen as approved are:
1) blind pin and weld over the pin 2) high temp silver solder over >50% of the circumference 3) four or more equidistant spot welds around the circumference. The most common method I've seen is blind pin and weld the pin in place. |

I had planned on sweating silver solder into the threads. ts-8,000 psi/mp-460 degrees F. I thought that would look best. Think it'll fly?

As I understand it, the silver solder has to be 1100f - 480f wouldn't cut it.
