Silver soldered? Needed torch to melt solder fires if it was.
Clean off solder, re-tap threads, check engagement with new device, pin and weld.
Now I can't get get break off, it's just spinning at the end of the barrel.
I'm going to secure the brake and cut it off, I'll bring it back to the shop that I bought it from and ask why it didn't display that the brake was welded
Was it sold in MA or as being MA compliant?
Maybe the seller was just being overly cautious by massifying the barrel.
But to be perfectly honest, you should have known something was up long before you got to where you did. If you had stopped and figured out why the MD was not loosening after the first turn or so, you could have saved the threads. Sometimes just muscling something is not the answer.
Silver solder is legal if meltpoint is above 1100 degrees F.
The irony being, the propane torch in the background of the pic.

Torch is there because I used it, I though I got it hot enough, obviously I didnt....
Well, I got the brake off, but cut into the barrel a bit, it likely won't matter now, as the threads are ruined. Anyone know what my options are?View attachment 134959View attachment 134961
