Every time Every time I've had my brakes pinned on - the threads get drilled into... I guess that doesn't really fully destroy it though if you can unscrew the brake?

Grind down past the weld, and pull out the pin...before you unscrew it. 

Nope.   It doesn’t 

It does not.  The drill only needs to go slightly into the threads.   Grind the weld down and get the pin out.  I use ss set screws so u can unscrew it out    I do a real classy act.  

Does the muzzle break have to be pinned? Can you just tig a spot or two to make it permanent?

Do you tap it? Or just rely on tolerances/tight-fitting? Interesting, im always looking for unique methods.
