If I cut the bayonet lug off and solder the brake on a pre-ban upper can i use it on a post ban rifle? thanks Rich B Orlando,fl |

Quoted: I 'believe' soldering has BATF approval if it's 1,100 degree or greater. I've seen this on a letter at a local gunsmiths. Uhhh, braze is solder the diff is the melting point. Soft solder melts below 500 degrees. Has to do with the content silver to tin. Industry term for high temp is braze. It's a trick answer with same solution. |

It's a trick answer with same solution. You are correct, according to the BATF. "Muzzle attachment- Specifically NOT a flash suppressor or flash hider. Muzzle brake s are permitted as are non-ported muzzle sleeves. If the muzzle is threaded, the device must be permanently affixed. Permanent has been interpreted to mean either a blind pin, or welding or brazing using a medium that has a minimum melting temperature of 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit." Gunsmith catalogs, such as Brownells, list these compounds as "solder", along with their melt point.
