Pin and weld?

[Member 34319]

Can you pin and weld a muzzle device to a shotgun to remove barrel length but retain 18"?

Never heard of it being done on a shotgun, so figured I would ask.

Yes. Others will also chip in. You follow the same routine as adding drilled blind pined welded and smoothed rifle flash hiders? The thinner shotgun barrel material would prove a challenge. The whole point and process being you do not want that extension to fall off.

I'm sure the BATFE can also answer your questions.

Edited extra more thoughts. Multiple pins drilled shallow? No pins? High temp silver sodder? Split muzzle shotgun barrels I am sure can be reclaimed but I for one am now not exactly sure the proper legal and safe procedure to do so. Perhaps talk to a good gunsmith?

Just the thought of the process, Reno, sounds challenging for a clean/effective job.
I'm thinking if pinned, Yikes, what a chore.

I'm not dedicated to this idea. Just the thought of a 19" barrel with a 3" brake on it seems silly. Cut back 4" and pin it to get 18" or a little over. Done.

Silver solder, IMO, equals way too much heat and may cause warpage.
I would pin and fuse-TIG

Ya, if I go that route I'd have Tim do it.

What muzzle device are you wanting to use? And why?

Not entirely certain. Wasn't even sure it was a thing that could be done on a shotgun.

Id rather have something short and legal like this.

Over this long arse thing!

 

[Kruel J]

Ok, but again....why? Tame the recoil? Piss everyone off around you?

 

[Kruel J]

@Reno I know some ideas don't need a specific "why" behind them but a muzzle brake.....on a shotgun.....that you want pay to have cut and installed.......

This is a low temp, high strength solder that is used often in knife making. Its low melting temp won't warp or hurt the heat treat of your barrel and will be a solid connection.

would it be THAT much cheaper to have a guy do the work than just gettin a stamp for it?

$9 for the solder and a propane torch that every man worth a darn should have two of sounds a lot cheaper

Just running ideas around. Lol. Didn't even expect to own another Saiga style type shotgun. Especially since I only paid $350 for it. Not entirely sure if I want to drop the $200 for the stamp and extra to have a smith perform even more work $.

I wouldn't think it would cost more than $200 for the work, the brake itself... No comment.

A $350 Saiga clone/knockoff? I wouldn't put anything more into it than shells. Just me though.

Ya, I'm kind of thinking I'll just shoot it for a bit.

My thoughts were if you could get into a shotgun cheap enough, spend the 200 bucks to have a short barrel shotgun it can be as short as you want and put whatever you want on it

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

or just get a shockwave 930 with a brace? LOL
