OK, not sure if I should put this in Nj Gun laws. Anyway, I just received a new upper. 16" BCM lightweight middy. It is not attached to anything or near a lower. It came with a A2 flash hider which I will replace with a BattleComp muzzle break(NJ legal).

 

I know a barrel has to be 16" here for a rifle, and I know a threaded barrel is an evil feature. But does a brake have to be pinned on a 16" barrel???

 

Thank You

 

PS: anyone I haven't spoke with lately, hope your doing good, some personal BS lately

if you're putting a brake on it has to be pinned/welded

Hey Shane, long time no see!

It's not the length of the barrel that matters in your case, its the evil threads being accessible.

You need to pin the BattleComp. Good choice of upper though, the boys at M4C love them a BCM middy.

BCM middys shoot super soft-- supplement that upper with a decent buffer (in the lower), and it'll shoot like a dream.

 

But yes, as previously noted, all muzzle devices must be permanently attached, regardless of the overall length.

i had the same question, cant i just grind down the threads not not put anything there? i'm getting the dpms lr-308 ap4 i want to take off the flash and grind the threads i hate muzzle brakes can i do that?

If the threads are completely removed then no pinned on brake needed, or you can just pin one of these on.

any gunsmith can properly cut the threads off and recrown the barrel, for under 100. paterson gunsmith quoted me $60.

+1 i would rather cover up the threads and pin that on then have them completely removed, one day we may be able to throw a flash hider on.

Once thats pinned on the threads are most likely ruined.
