Can anyone advise me on how to get this broken pin out of this AR-15 barrel?
Much appreciated

lol
How did you do that, you pentanigger?
Did you hammer on the thread side of the barrel?
You stupid motherfucker
OP here. This barrel belongs to a friend of mine and I have no idea how he did it. I'm just looking to see if the thing can be salvaged.

Ask AR general

>This barrel belongs to a friend of mine
sure it does.
>>28328822
its fucked and completely worthless now
you could fix it but it would be cheaper to buy a new barrel
turn it into a single shot break action or something
I'm guessing you were installing/removing a muzzle device without clamping the barrel? Was the barrel nut even tightened?

Take it to a machine shop and ask them to EDM it out.
A machine shop can mill that out.
Source: I'm a machinist and have removed countless broken taps and sheared pins just like this one. If you're in Ontario I'll even do it for you.

Drill it and tap it with a Allen head screw of the highest grade steel like grade 8 or grade 5

Why would you EDM out a soft pin?
If its a hardened, a piece carbide will take it out, if it isn't, a standard drill will.

This OP.
Take a drill bit smaller than the pin, and VERY CAREFULLY drill into it. Get pliers on the drill bit and pull.
Or take it to a machine shop like others have suggested, if you have any doubts about doing it yourself.

DO NOT drill all the way through the damn thing if you ever plan on shooting that barrel!
How does this happen, there's literally no torque applied to the pin, it's just a guide. You would have to apply a huge amount of force to shear this off holy fuck

>How does this happen
It happens by holding the barrel instead of the receiver or by retard strength/not using a torque wrench.

Last time I had a problem with my gun, I oiled it up and then whacked the problem area with a screwdriver. Works better ham it did before.
