Decided I'd like to have a battlecomp on my AR that already has a pinned/welded muzzle brake.

 

Is this something "routine" that a gunsmith could handle? Any recommendations for a gunsmith that does it?

 

I'm not really worried about saving the current muzzle brake, so is it posible for me to remove it myself, say by grinding down the brake/pin until I can get the pin out?

from what ive seen a gunsmith should be able to get the break off but it would most likely be destroyed but which in your case you don't care so id say yeah a smith should be able to handle it. As for doing it yourself, I personally wouldnt risk messing up the threads on the barrel

If you're willing to destroy the old comp there's no reason you can't do it yourself. And if you happen to touch the threads, shich you shouldn't. You can run a die nut over it.

 

Now there's loads of people on there that can pin and weld your new comp.

 

PM me if you like and I'll walk you through stuff.

 

 

Old School, thanks, PM'ing.

Got it, thanks. That's a bit more brutish than the method I was going to try to remove it, but I'll keep it in mind as a plan B (or C, or D).
