To those whom have welded sights onto their gas block...


Recommended Posts

I have questions. Has it affected the chrome lining on the inside (caused it to flake off or affect it in any way)?

 

Also, have you experienced any cracking in the weld area after repeated use of the firearm after welding?

 

I'm looking to weld sights onto my .308 and while I have no problem welding on parts that can easily be replaced (gas tube and receiver cover), I do not want to adversely affect a part that is harder to get and replace. Thank you.

 

Btw, this is my first post ever, so... Hi guys!

 

...and sorry if this has been posted before.

High temp silver soldering the HK front sight on the gas block ( providing you have requisite skills ) should provide an excellent result, and you won't have to worry about shrinking up or deforming the underlying steel.

 

This is old school stuff, but it works brilliantly if done correctly.
