Ive read up on threads of this. Basically remove my pinned muzzle break and install a flash hider. I know about adco and all that. But i wanted to see if this
is something i could do. I have a drill press at the shop. Here are some pics. Things that caught my eye: 1. The pin is not welded and it does not go through to the other side of the break. 2. I looked inside with a flash light and saw that the pin does not go through the thread of the barrel. ( ie. i could not see the pin or holes from inside the thread of the barrel.) 3. The pin is at 6 oclock What do you guys think. I was thinking of just drilling out the the pin which i think is probably only an 1/8 or 1/16 long. Then i assume the muzzle could just be screwed off the barrel? I live in NM so i dont need to pin the flash hider. I bought the gun like this a while back. if i should succeed should the flash hider just screw on securely? What keeps it from screwing back out? Thanks guys!!!

Quoted:
I couldnt do it after all.  The pin is just to hard of a metal. The bit was able to drill the muzzle but not the Pin.
I might just have to dremel it out, but it have to buy a dremel first. if not ill send it to adco. Get a good solid carbide bit, problem solved, be careful with it though, they break like glass if dropped or used it rough manner, meaning lots of chatter, or improperly clamped part. |

AND--> Make sure not to drill too deep. There are several cases of people drilling thru the brake and pin, the barrel is soft steel and drills easily. When I remove one I use the very end of the drill press stroke, (and I use cutting fluid). |
