I have a RRA upper with a permanently attached break.  It is not pinned, so I assume it is attached with some sort of solder or something?.....  So, do I need to just head the damn thing up until it melts again and then quickly unscrew it?  .....I'm just assuming.

there are several ways it could be attached, all the RRA brakes I see on their site are pinned and welded. I remove those with a lathe, others have taken their chances with brother Dremel.

ETA,

JLM was kind enough to supply these links.

I really don't think mine is pinned, but I guess it might be.  I am currently in the PRK (CA) so I don't have it with me to inspect.

However if it is not, aka soldered instead, how would I go about removing it?

did you read those threads?

Of course I did!  It is a FUNCTIONAL break and not the faux.... in fact I'll link it up from RRA.  It is the "Military Style" break listed.

if I'm reading RRA's page correctly all of those are pinned and welded to meet the no threads req. sometimes you can locate the head of the pin then cut through the weld around it. if the pin is not loose enough to fall out you can cut the pin out of the hole or cut a notch in the end of the blind hole and push the pin out.

HAHA! I didn't even read the description on RRA.  Hmm, I guess it must be pinned and welded then.  I interested to see now.  Only a few more days till I'm back home to see.
