Removing a pinned muzzle break.

Recommended Posts

In order to do some modifications to my AR-15's gas block (replacing it), I would like to remove the pinned muzzle break, and replace it with a new one. Is it a simple process? Can I drill out the pin?

 

What about pinning a new muzzle break on?

 

What is the legality of this?

Yankee Hill Muzzle Break, Front/Rear Sight = $211.00

Daniel Defense Omega Rail (7" carbine) = $265.00

ADCO work (remove muzzle break, place new one on) = $70

Total = $556.00

 

Original cost of Stag Model-1 = $900.00

 

Total cost after mod = $1456.00

 

Potential cost of optics (Holo sights or red dot) ~$500.00

 

Wow. :o

Mine grossed $2k a long time ago. I was going to sell it but then I thought about all the cash I have in it and decided to keep it. It's my overly equipped SHTF gun.

Well, I only count the cost of the gun in terms of permanent stuff added to it. Optics can be removed or replaced, etc. Heck, you don't even really neeeeeeeed them if you don't want them.

 

I also forgot to add the cost of night sights for the AR when it's all said and done. That'll be like an additional $180.00 abouts. Not really necessary. But for a SHTF gun... who knows.

ARs are an expensive hobby but when the zombies come, you'll be happy you had one :lol:

Anyway, regarding your original question, there's a guide on arfcom that talks about how to remove a muzzle device and also how to pin one on:

http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782

look for the How to permanently attach a muzzle device section and Remove your permanently attached muzzle device. Pay particular attention to the legal disclaimer at the end of the "remove" section.

 

ETA: I'm also a big fan of ADCO as I've mentioned a few times on this board. They did the "NJifying" of my AR and will undoubtedly send them any other ARs I need done.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
