| I was wondering if anyone had a link for a webpage that has the acceptable ways to permanently attach a brake to make a barrel longer than 16in. I have halfass looked around the site but I can't seem to find anything. |

I don't have a link but the spec is Blind Pinning, with the pin hole welded over. Four equal distant fusion welded tacks around the circumference of the device. Silver Solder with a high melting point actual temperature I do not recall. The measurement should be made with a rod down the barrel with the bolt closed so you are measuring from the bolt face to the end of the barrel. |
Thanks for you input. The reason for wanting the link is because a friend wanted to use a spike's tactical fake suppressor to make his barrel 16in and didn't want to have to pin it. I thought that you could solder it but wasn't sure of the specs. Now all I need is the melting point temp......anyone by chance know that? |
Found it....Thanks a lot |
| Remember most Fake suppressors are Aluminum and you won't be able to Silver Solder aluminum at all, Also you can't fusion weld aluminum to steel, I usually drill and tap a hole in the fake can and make a pin from a set screw install that below the surface of the Fake Can then TIG aluminum into the hole on top for a virtually invisible but very solid pinning. |
I actually didn't know that you couldn't solder aluminum. The reason he was looking for a way to do it without pinning because we don't have access to a tig welder. Guess he will just have to breakdown and pay for someone to do it right. |
