| Does anyone know anywhere that will permanently attach a muzzle brake for a decent price in northern NJ? |

Quoted:
you could give Joe at mastodon in highland lakes a call. he might be able to help you out. I second this. He's done a few pin and welds for me. He's reasonably priced and a real nice guy. I've been buying a lot more guns from him lately because his prices are much better than the place I was going to. 973/764.9550 |

Nothing says it has to be... nothing says it's kosher if it isn't. As discussed here previously, Stag Arms just blind-pins their muzzle brakes for sale in ban-compliant states. The part of the law (and it's not even really a law - it's a 20-year-old instruction by the AG to all prosecutors, telling them what HE thinks "substantially identical" meant) that's in question here is the presence of threads on the end of the barrel "designed to accommodate a flash suppressor".
Absent any clear direction, the general consensus has been to fall back on the ATF definition of a "permanently-attached" muzzle device (when the federal AWB was in effect, and threaded barrels were verboten), that being at least a 180° fusion weld, four equidistant tack welds, 1200° silver solder, or a welded-over blind pin.... the pin/weld combination usually being chosen as the easiest-to-do/cleanest-looking. |
