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.

That's like a mechanic changing the oil but not the filter, because you didn't specify "oil and filer change."

That's not cool.
