gotcha man did not know they sold 1.5 inch thought only 2 inch on the pinned type.... my bad

[deth502]

it should be a std fh threaded on then drilled and pinned. your saying theres no threads on the barrel and it was pressed on? ive never seen that on an ar before.

[Helen Keller]

unless it was that stupid ak-74 brake bushmaster had.

[Schuetzenman]

Blind pinned is ok, if you can't push the pin out it doesn't have to be welded in. Drill a hole that does not go 100% through to the other side. Check depth of hole, cut pin to go flush, drive in pin and done. OR you can high temp silver solder one on but that is hard on a barrel as you have to get it cherry red to flow the sliver solder.

the barrel is a m-4 type and at the end it only has a indention for a pin. and yes i think what helen keller is talking about the ak brake is what was on it.

good thing i weld for a living.. lol, Shuetz the barrel i have has no threads on it and every fh i've come across has threads do i need to drill them out to make it work? good thing about it the link hellen gave me has the 1.5 inch fh that is predrilled to pin.

[silentkilla]

guess i'm screwed on finding a correct one for this model.. going to try and drill the threads out of one i have and make it work hopefully. then i can drill a hole for the pin and pin it... any suggestions on what to use for the pin??

[silentkilla]

well screwed again.... the FH i have come off of a pencil barrel and the m-4 profile barrel i have on this upper the o.d of the barrel is alot bigger. can not make a standard FH work.... shit

[Helen Keller]

if it comes down to it, get it threaded then perm attach any 1.5" or longer FH you want.



when the 94 AWB went away so did alot of anything pressed/pinned.

wher its was pinned on before its got a indention in the barrel where the pin slid through how do they get past all that to thread it properly??

[FunkyPertwee]

A gunsmith may have to smooth it up or turn it down before threading.

It sounds like you need to take it to a gunsmith. An NFA upper is fine as long as it isn't assembled with a lower. I wouldn't store it with a lower nearby either.

[Helen Keller]

or buy yo'self another lower and make a pistol of it.


or just suck it up and sell/trade it to somebody.

:11doh: did not think about a lathe...... it not on a lower but it is sitting in my safe.. so thats a no no??

how much you give me for it right now?? bought it for 375...

[FunkyPertwee]

Well the first thing I would do is stop talking about it on the internet, the second thing I would do is keep it away from any unassembled lower receivers, and the third thing I would do is take the stripped upper receiver to your trusted gunsmith to have a new muzzle device permanently attached. You should keep in mind that it will be permanently attached when picking out your preferred muzzle device. Get something you'll be happy with years from now.

[silentkilla]

hum. i was looking at my FH on the hk93 and it is also pinned. i wonder if its threaded to?? going to check out robertsRTG and see if they have a hk FH for a AR that only pins on..

by the way...... the whole barrel is out of the upper right now dude. there is no way in hell to fire it as it sets.

Your HK93 FH is not pinned.

Your Date Code and twist rate are both wrong to have a pinned muzzle attachment.

Dang partisian take it easy... can you tell me what the wire looking thingy is in the FH then??

Sorry...If I came across as a dick, that was not my intention.


The spring clip on the FH has to do with rifle grenades...in a way...The Stasi...err, I mean the batfucks...well it's a long story dating back to the 60's and then the Nazi control act of 1968 happened....

[Partisan1983]

If you had a pinned muzzle attachment, your date code would be from 88 or 89.

The twist rate would be 1-7 and your barrel length would be around 15" or so, IIRC......FWIW

no..... no man you just seamed a little excited... lol. sorry for not knowing half the shit i need to know about my gun. kinda deserve someone being a dick to me, lol. don't know why i thought it was pinned hell you can easily take the clip out if you tried it looks like. thanks for the info bro!

[Helen Keller]

first page said $350

:evil-bbq:




If i wasnt saving up an a m1 carbine i'd buy it .

lol. sorry bro it was 375. hell i was saving up for a rem. 700 LTR and look what i went off and did.. spent the damn money on another upper.. lol

[deth502]

Dang partisian take it easy... can you tell me what the wire looking thingy is in the FH then??

if its like the 93, it is a detent type device that mates with a spline under the flash hider to keep it from turning off in use.

[deth502]

i got $300 shipped.

[silentkilla]

i got $300 shipped.

lol i hear you on the 300. no its not like the spline that under the FH on a hk barrel. it just straight with the indention for a pin.

[deth502]

my bad

*if its like the 91

meaning if the fh on the 93 is like the fh on the 91, then the "wire looking thingy" is to engage the splines. that post was meant to have nothing to do with the ar.

[Aggressive Perfector]

You can't just have a gunsmith thread your barrel?

[silentkilla]

already in progress..
