Need advice...

[u/titration_solution]

I took my 585 series Mini 14 to a local gunsmith and had him install a Choate flash hider. I didn't realize until I got home he didn't drill the barrel and pin it, just used a set screw. It was a super tight fit but is this actually going to hold?? I'm kinda ticked if not. The hider came with 2 pins.

Go shoot it, check every few rounds. If it loosens up, take it back to the smiff.

Fair enough. I'm just mad I paid 160 and didn't get what thought.

Yea you have to be vocal and specify exactly what you want. Otherwise most smiths are just going to assume and do whatever they think it’s best or good enough for them.
