I removed the welded pin from an AR barrel muzzle device (1/2-28 threads). I used a 5/32 carbide end mill and drilled the pin out pretty cleanly. The drilled hole goes about .030-.040 below the major diameter. It is not drilled radially; it is drilled perpendicular to one of the wrench flats, on the back corner.

I guess I should have found out before I did this, but is there any problem using this barrel, if I use a properly torqued muzzle device on it?

Thanks
