[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pinning Compensator

Posted: 4/16/2013 4:35:24 AM EDT

I'm thinking about pinning my compensator myself. I have a 14.5" BCM BFH barrel and a BCM compensator. The compensator came with a pinning hole pre-drilled and a pin. If I drilled the barrel myself and applied the pin, would I be able to use either solder or JB Weld to seal-in the pin? I don't have the capability to weld it myself and would like to avoid sending it off to be pinned.

Don't believe so. I think there is an ATF ruling out there somewhere that states the requirements you should review.

It takes me about 2 minutes to get setup, hood on and all to Tig a pin in. If I were to charge you, I would not charge more than $5. I had an old broken off drill bit that the blank end worked perfect for the pin... welds nice too...

Thanks for the info fellas. I searched, like I should have before posting, and now know what I need to do. The comp came with a pin so I'm just going to drill the blind hole and have a welder put a small weld over it. DONE!
