Thread: Length of a rifle with welded on suppressor?

But is welding around a barrel an ok thing to do? Could it not distort, or bulge a bit inside or something bad that could leave it as a useless bit of steel tubing?

All good with my oxy-acetylene gas setup. I also have a metal working lathe for the crown and threads. It'll be fine (once I settle the legal aspect )
