Why would somebody weld a muzzle brake when the barrel is already threaded?

It's state law in California you cant have a grenade launcher on a YUGO SKS or a threaded barrel you have to remove the threads or attach a muzzle brake and weld it on so it can't be removed.

The lawmakers have the same problem with threaded muzzles here in New York. I think the legislature thinks we're all going to go out and put silencers on anything with a threaded muzzle. They also have a problem with compensators and flash hiders, but not with muzzle brakes. Weird, huh?

But they don't have a problem with SKS Yugos that come with the integral grenade launcher. I guess they figure that since the launcher is welded on and nobody can get live 22mm NATO rifle grenades anyway, it's not a big deal. My launcher functions as a flash hider and I like it. All the gun stores that sell milsurp rifles around here have the Yugos and the police, who shop in the stores, don't have a problem with them.

On a general note: has anyone ever explained to the legislators that the purpose of a flash hider is to keep from blinding the shooter? You can't hide the muzzle flash from whatever he's shooting at downrange without a very exotic, very expensive kind of sound and flash suppressor and special ammunition no matter what you do. Or would explaining this to them in words of one syllable, with diagrams, tax their itty-bitty brains too much? Or, much more likely, would this rational explanation conflict with their preconceptions courtesy of Hollywood, because they've made up their minds and don't want to be confused with facts?

The trouble with most legislators is that they don't have a clue what there talking about when it come to guns,the just spout and create laws presented to them by the Anti-gun lobby babble that has an agenda to rid America of the terrible guns. They want to live in a Utopia world where they don't have to fear anything and the government controls and provide for everything you need in life. The Second Amendment is about how to preserve freedom in this country and freedom to choose for oneself scare the Hell out of them.

Papers brake is welded on because of CA gun laws so you can't use rifle grenades with the YUGO,there seems to be mass quantities of rifle grenades lying around in that state somewhere.

Well here is a picture @ 30 yards with clamp on by pod.

Why does the mussel break have to be welded on their? As long as you have enough American made parts on it what can they do, they can't superseded Federal law! I feel for ya!

My guess is so you can't unscrew a muzzle brake and screw on a silencer. Apparently it's the threads they object to.

Paranoid bit***s

California doesnt supercide fed's just adds to it so they are within federal guide lines.. bye the way you wanna see a really screwed up set of fed laws read the ones on SKS's cover to cover .. then call BATFE and let them tell you what it means.. It wont sound anything like what you read!!
