G1 muzzle break

quicksilver · February 22, 2012, 22:32

I have a G1 rifle that has the lug on the barrel for the original flash hider and I am looking for a muzzle break that can be silver soldered as the barrel is does not threaded. I could then grind the lug off. Anyone know of one?

why don't you swap the G1 barrel for a stg, or other makes that have thrds already. no need to alter [destroy] a good G1.

I face a similar predicament with a "G1-like" barrel on my Argy. Nothing fits but the bayo that creates a 3-prong FH once attached.

Can a FALsmith swap barrels for a FH-threaded barrel without damage to either barrels and recvr?

Yes, swapping barrels would be the preferred method, especially for hard to find barrels such as these.

swap and sell me your G1....please?

Since the build is already headspaced and the barrel is installed I suppose I could just do without a muzzle brake. I hate to take the barrel off.

If you have a barrel that is "Lugged" for the love of god please do not "grind" it off.. There are people here that would do anything to trade you for a regular barrel.
