Read the law again.
If your rifle is a semi-automatic and it accepts detachable magazines, it can have ONE and only ONE evil feature from the following list: - pistol grip - bayonet lug - folding or collapsable stock - grenade launcher (including any 22mm muzzle device) - flash suppressor or barrel threaded for a flash suppressor While you could technically have a barrel that is threaded in a non-standard thread, if a single flash suppressor exists with that thread, your threads will count as an evil item. Note: a semi-auto that does NOT accept detachable magazines is not a SAW no matter how many other features it has. -Troy |

The 2 evils I'm refering to is the pistol grip,
and the detachable mag. On the other hand, on a post-ban with a 16" barrel can the muzzle brake be made so I can remove it for the winter time ? |

The detachable magazine is a qualifying characteristic, not a countable "feature," due to the way the law is written.
As long as your barrel is over 16" without the muzzle device, you can certainly have a removable brake installed. Note for example that Bushmaster attaches muzzle brakes on 16" and longer barrels with an exposed taper pin. This allows the brake to be removed and replaced as desired. The barrel is not threaded. -Troy |

Doesn't one of the qualifying factors of a threaded postban have to be that the current muzzle brake is welded on so that it is permanent? That kinda makes your indoor issue a bit of a problem. Maybe you should look into getting a sleeve made for the brake so that you could "turn it off" by covering the ports. Just an idea that would solve your problems.

minman: No - on a 16" or longer post-ban, the device only has to be permanent if the barrel underneath is threaded for a flash suppressor. If the barrel is not threaded, or not threaded with a thread which will accept a flash suppressor, the muzzle device does not have to be permanently attached - unless the muzzle device is also being used to bring the barrel up to 16" or longer to avoid regulation and tax as an SBR.
