Does ATF return your call?

They did return my email within an hour. I wanted to know when using the blind pin method to permanently secure my muzzle device to the barrel, if JB-Weld was an acceptable method to cover the head of the pin. Here was their response.

Good Morning,

FATD does not consider “J-B Weld” a type of weld that meets any definition of permanently attached nor would be sufficient as a type of weld to be placed over the pin if the blind pin method was used to permanently attach a muzzle device to the barrel of a firearm.

I don't know if that was trolling or a serious question... ? It probably still took them an hour to figure out the answer.

It was a serious question I had.
