    Gunsmith in SE Michigan for pinning and welding FH

    Does anyone know of any good gunsmiths in SE MI that can pin/weld a flash hider or brake to a barrel? I got a CZ Bren 2 with 14" barrel and I want to have a FH or brake that is a little over 2.5" long pinned and welded to get the barrel over 16" to avoid going the SBR route. Wondering what gunsmiths are recommended in SE MI that can do this? I'm sure it's an easy enough job, just curious who is recommended. The Bren 2 has a removable barrel so I should just be able to send them the barrel and muzzle device.

    A lot of people use silver solder. Brownells sells a solder and flux combination where you can do it yourself at home fairly easy.

    You have to be careful about mixing methods when permanently attaching a muzzle device.

    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 The rod is then marked at the furthermost end of the barrel or permanently attached muzzle device, withdrawn from the barrel, and measured.

    This is the way I have always known it to be, it may have changed, I have no other reference.

    I second ADCO. They are just across the state line in Sylvania, OH (and I don't hold that against them ).
