SFH1989 posted:I had a gunsmith gently caress up my first 14.5" barrel by drilling just too deep after taking almost a month to get it done. That sucks but it can be fixed. Try tack welding to fill the hole, like others have said here make sure you look directly at the arc with your naked eye to ensure precision.

One of my classmates melted a contact while learning welding in vocational school He wasn't very bright (but the arc he stared at was!  )

14 pounds of 5.56 is on the way! I should at least take a picture of the plastic bin with most of my parts collection in it or something. Late edit: YIP YIP YIP chrome non-serrated retro BCG ordered! Ygolonac fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Apr 10, 2021 |

Well I got a cheap 16” barrel to tide me over until I can actually source a lightweight 14.5” one, which I can’t find anywhere for some ungodly reason. Current plan is to build a new lightweight .223 Wylde on the KP-15 while doing an SBR Form 1 stamp to switch my current 5.56 with the heavy-rear end SOCOM barrel to a shorty .300 Blackout, then wait for a Form 4 to suppress it and in a year or two I’ll be blasting feral hogs verrrrrry quietly in the wee hours of the morning. (I say Form 4 for the suppressor rather than Form 1 because I’m not sure I trust my own craftsmanship to convert a solvent trap into a suppressor that will hold up to centerfire rifle calibers...)
