My WASR 10 came with a barrel nut that had one spot weld on the underside of the barrel(Just above where the cleaning rod ends). Ive been wanting to get that sucker off, but ive got a few reservations.
1. One person I talked to said that doing something to take off the spot weld could mess with the integrity of the barrel in that spot, and that I was better off just cutting it off altogether. Is that correct?
Sorry for the fuzziness. My camera has a close up function, but a message always comes up about there not being enough light...Regardless of whether its under 10 flashlights, or under the mid day sun.
2. After removing the nut, I would like to get the barrel threaded. Is this a job for a gunsmith or a machine shop somewhere? If so, how much can I expect to pay?
Rifle in question just for kicks.
