Cutting a barrel

[68Charger]

As long as it is welded and not easily removable is the key.

a "blind pin" an option- welding is not required.. it has to be ground flat, and it doesn't go out the other side, so it's not removable without more drilling or grinding.

Sliver solder/brazing is also an option..

Sweet! This is what I was thinking but thought I'd ask to make sure.

Now to find a PRO for a decent price.



Thanks Gentlemen!

From ATF P 5320.8 ATF National Firearms Act Handbook page 17-

The ATF procedure for measuring barrel length is to measure from the closed bolt (or breech-face) to
the furthermost end of the barrel or permanently attached muzzle device. Permanent methods of
attachment include full-fusion gas or electric steel-seam welding, high-temperature (1100°F) silver soldering, or blind pinning with the pin head welded over. Barrels are measured by inserting a dowel rod into the barrel until the rod stops against the bolt or breech-face. The rod is then marked at the furthermost end of the barrel or permanently attached muzzle device, withdrawn from the barrel, and
measured.

learned something new, have gotten bad info before that it could be press fit tight and ground flush... good thing I've never used that method..
