I have a rifle on order that should be in soon. The manufacturer installs either a fixed flash hider(no go here in NJ) and a fixed muzzle brake that is threaded.

Are threaded brakes ok in NJ or do I need to ask to have the threads ground off?

You can have a threaded muzzle brake that is pinned and welded in place, or a plain, non threaded barrel.

To be clear, the brake has threads on the outside.

This is the brake, no not ordering a suppressor.

This is what comes on the rifle instead of the flash hider. It is permanently pinned/welded on. Just not sure if the outside threads need to be removed.

 

Thanks guys.

I have an Ops Inc. Brake on my MK12 upper. Similar to yours. It is pinned/welded and a thread protector welded over the threads.. I came to the conclusion the a pinned/ welded brake becomes part of the barrel and if the brake has exposed threads it is still essentially a threaded barrel. It could very well be legal but its not worth the hassle having to explain it to a judge..

I agree that I would not have any threads showing...

Thank you all. Placed a call to have the outer threads removed. Better compliant than cool.

Lol.

I dont know where you are located. It is not in your profile. But you can offer to order one of these and have it shipped to the company and ask them to pin and weld this? Or have your upper shipped to a reputable FFL who can do the work for you. And again, just pick up one of these. If you are in central jersey, PM me. I have a ffl I use, who does great work.

Thank you very much for the offer. I actually have a rifle on order with the company that makes the brake. They will take off the threads and permanently attach it to the rifle, pin the stock and send it out NJ watered down compliant.

Atlas, I'm interested to know how this turned out for you. Did you end up getting this muzzle device without the threads? How is it?

 

An FFL in my area has a few wilson uppers with that exact brake installed (welded). They have no external threads so I'm guessing they ordered them that way.

 

Can anyone comment on the legality of this muzzle device once the external threads are gone? I'm really liking the uppers they have on the shelf at my FFL. Obviously they claim they are Nj legal muzzle brakes but I would like an unbiased opinion
