Actually you can TIG weld with silver. No messy flux. Makes for a very clean and quick job. Heat in only a small area. Maybe a bit of an argon purge in the barrel to prevent scaling. Good to go.

I am getting this done this weekend
The tax stamp arrival was just too exciting, and I had to wrap a couple of those up. Talk about irony; I talk shit about this being no problem, and get 2 stamps in during the process. I am not gonna lie; it crossed my mind to spin the FH on and have this be a spare upper for one if the stamped lowers
I will get it done. It was just the laziness talking. |

Finally got my blocks back, got the OE nut off, and put on the Gieselle nut. Re-pinned the gas block, cleaned and touched up the paint after shaving it just a tad to fit the MK5. Drilled a hole in the FH to feed solder through...
THEN, came the fail. I was out of oxy (I know my kid left the valve open) so I gave it a shot with Mapp. No Bueno. I have soldered smaller parts with Mapp and 65%, but there was no way this 35% was flowing with Mapp only. Damn it! I will get my tank exchanged tomorrow, and burn this bitch on

......................... Drilled a hole in the FH to feed solder through... OK, now I am confused. Doesn't the silver solder process involve running a solder bead around the muzzle device/barrel thread junction? Why do you need to drill a hole in the FH? |

Before you solder or pin and weld....research Voodoo Innovations Manimal muzzle device.

But I agree about the 14.5", I'd rather just pin it vs the added expense and rules regarding an SBR. And even if you do want to change things around its not all that difficult to get a pinned hider off. Going less than 14.5" though, I'd pick the tax stamp route. Never understood the point of going 11.5" or less and then having to perm attach a fake suppressor or something along those lines. |

And when I have something pinned, it already has the muzzle device and/or rail I want and it isn't getting changed until the barrel shoots out. I have yet to shoot out a barrel out yet and run into this dilemma. It's just not as big of a deal having a pinned MD as some are making it out to be. |

I will update my butchery with pics this weekend. I had that Vortex in the pic soldered on, and it looked like hell. The flux got away from me and ate the ano off the FH. I will still use it on some other WECSOG project
Had I not tried the MAPP route first, being a lazy bitch, it would have been fine. SO...the end result is a Blackout with a pin and weld via MIG. Fuck it. |
