I'd call rearden, they may tell you it doesn't need to be timed. I would try it out first, just to check if matters.Picked up a rearden r2 flash hider for a 14.5" barrel, I need to get it pin and welded, any places in southern NH do it? how should it be aligned? opening at 12 or should I have one at 11 and another at 1? Do I need rocket if it is P&W?

Barrel length and fed regs.
Beat me to it. f*** that noise. I lived in New Hampshire I ain't pinning or welding s***. I want that threaded barrel accessible to me so that when my suppressor paperwork finally comes through I can ditch that flash hider.
Ah, that makes sense. Living under communist rule I hadn't thought about the Feds wanting the length "permanent".
Emailed, let's see what they say.
I went with huxwrx. No timing or shim, because of the 360 degree design. Since this is similar, I figured it may be the same.

Actually it should be timed with the hole there being at 6 o'clockI went with huxwrx. No timing or shim, because of the 360 degree design. Since this is similar, I figured it may be the same.

I hear what your saying, but they said it didn't have to be. I suppose I could shim it, but the hole at three o'clock stopped bothering me a while ago.
It’s due to the 16” barrel requirement at the federal level. Lots of people get a 14.5” barrel and pin and weld the muzzle device which would bring it long enough to meet the 16” federal requirement so that they don’t have to SBR the gun or go to jail. Some people prefer the 16” total length to the 16” plus muzzle device length.
If you don't want to deal with Fed crap...The bayo lug is set back on the 14.5in, so if you have a 16in overall, you can actually get a bayonet onto it.
I know. But for 1.5” just seems like not worth it to P&W and deal with that permanent situation. And as noted in the other thread, I think Form 1 is simple and quick (unlike form 4 long wait) with the only drawback being the ATF notice if you want to take the SBR across state lines.
Yes, technically permission. I know. I don’t view as a big deal b/c most folks aren’t traveling the country with SBRs and suppressors and if you go to same place often then you can do a single annual filing. Or can make sure your travel gun is not NFA. Lol. When I was in MA I always did silver solder myself. Get an oxy-mapp torch, 1100 degree silver solder and thermal paste to protect the barrel. Easier to reverse. But overall, IMO all a waste of time to save 1.5”.
Didn't you hear? NH is so damn free NFA laws aren't even valid there.LOL let's pig pile on the OP for wanting to stay out of Club Fed for having a rifle with a barrel under 16".
14.5" plus P&W brake = legal.
Read piggies, read! (LOL I've probably done the same)

I didn't even think about pulling out the Dremel until you had already left to make the thing look better. At least you're legal with the AFT. Any agents that look at the thing will see the weld on it so you won't need to worry about them jamming you up over it. It was mentioned at a recent club meeting how there are officers that come to the club and will report things seen up the chain. They won't do anything on club grounds, just wait for you to leave and THEN ruin your life.
