Most vises will have a angle cut into the jaws to hold anything round. Use a sharp punch to mark where to drill (this will stop the bit from walking). Then use a 30 degree counter sink after the hole is drilled (this will recess the weld a little). After drilling and counter sinking the muzzle device it gets installed on the barrel. Use the drilled hole for a guild to help drill into the barrel. I just use a cordless for that. Now just drop the pin in and weld over it.
Just remember to use oil when drilling and make sure the drill press is level. Melonite treated surfaces are much harder to drill. Practice on a piece of old pipe a couple times. |

Is this drill press good?
http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200365427_200365427?hotline=false where do you get the pins? What type of drill bits and size? If a drill press is overkill please tell me how you do it. I have been reading some walk throughs and it seems alot of people are using hand drills. |

A drill press where you could set the quill to stop is best but that would work.
I would touch the drill off the top of the threads and mark the press with tape or marker then only go about .05 deep. easy pecks until the drill is cutting smooth and use the hole in the muzzle device for a guide |

Center punch your hole on the bottom of your muzzle device. Drill that first. Put said muzzle device on barrel. Align your drill with the hole in the muzzle device. This will act as a guide an ensure the holes are on top of one another. Touch the drill (not spinning) to the barrel threads. Set quill stop for 1/16 or 3/32 more advancement. Drill your hole. Cut off shank of drill an put it in the hole. Tack it. Done.
I did it with a pistol drill. No problem. |

If you buy the barrel from Ballastics Advantage, they will pin and weld the muzzle device but you have to send them the muzzle device. The cost was reasonable from what I remember.

To add, many of the new muzzle devices have a hole predrilled. You nay want to consider one of the.

There's nothing wrong with the questions you asked. The point is this. A person doing something for the first time can not do it as well or as of high quality as someone who is a professional at it. Unless you get really lucky. There's several things that can go wrong. I've had ADCO do a pin and weld for me. |

Once upon a time, I'd never changed my own brakes before either. But you know what? I wanted to know how. So I did it. And over the years I have saved a small fortune by doing my own brakes. If he wants to learn, and to do it himself, then more power to him. At least he is asking questions so he understands the process, rather than charging in with a dremel and a 220 Millermatic. |

Lol I just snugged the muzzle on the barrel and drilled a hole with a bit that was a similar size of the piece of coat hanger I was using. Just don't go to deep or you'll ruin the barrel. Next weld the pin hole closed. Yes a coat hanger piece is perfectly legal.
