Threaded only comp on a post ban AR upper?

in a post ban gun the muzzel device must be permanently installed over a threaded barrel

if you have a plain barrel end a smith could drill detents around the barrel and install the compensator with allen bolts and lock tite

there are 3 illegal things on the end of a post ban barrel

1)threads
If the barrel end is threaded the device must be permanantly afixed over those evil threads.
Blind pinning & silver solder are the best method.
You do not want to risk a federal offense cause the BATF snaped the JB weld attachment with a 3 foot cheater bar.

2) A flash suppressor
Make sure that the muzzel device is a BATF post ban approved non flash hider

3) A Gernade launcher
If the Muzzel brake has the same outside diameter as the Mil issue flash suppressor, it also acts as a mounting point for a Military rifle gernade launcher.

You may never have any interaction with the Federal guys but do not risk it. Constructing a Semi Auto Assault Weapon is a harsh crime.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>(O1) What restrictions does Federal law impose on semiautomatic assault
weapons?
It is generally unlawful for a person to manufacture, transfer, or
possess semiautomatic assault weapons after September 13, 1994, the effective
date of the law. See the exceptions listed in Question O5.
[18 U.S.C. 922(v)(1)]
(02) How does the law define the term "semiautomatic assault weapon?"
The term "semiautomatic assault weapon" is defined to include 19 named
models of firearms and semiautomatic rifles, semiautomatic pistols, and
semiautomatic shotguns that have at least 2 of the features specified in the
law. Frames or receivers for firearms are not regulated as semiautomatic
assault weapons, since they could be assembled as a firearm other than the 19
named models of firearms. Likewise, frames or receivers are not semiautomatic
assault weapons under the "features" test of the law because they do not yet
have the features necessary to bring them within the definition.
Semiautomatic assault weapons in knockdown (disassembled) condition
consisting of a receiver and all parts needed to assemble a complete
semiautomatic assault weapon are subject to regulation if the parts are
segregated or packaged together and held by a person as the parts for the
assembly of a particular firearm.

JP engineering claims that if you thread the Barrel end with a non standard thread pattern that is not used on a fash suppressor you can have a post ban threaded barrel end

i would not risk this, because, how long would it take for the BATF to appear at a trial with a rethreaded supressor.

They did claim that they built an operable rifle from a maadi kit in 30 minutes using a dremel.

I use a Smith post-ban brake, that attaches with four setscrews and 640 Loctite. I've installed four or five of the Smith's and haven't had any problems yet. JP Enterprises also makes a setscrew model, but it only fits the Colt barrels. They're coming out with one for the Bushy barrels around the end of the year. The JP brake is ugly, but it's the most effective on the market.

I saw a gentleman with an AR with the JP break in action at an indoor range and the muzzle did not move. Very effective. It did not seem as loud as my ArmaLite RecoilChek.
