Local gunsmith to pin and weld thread cap

It could be done in a crime lab and afterwards just shown to a jury. See! It comes off and on! Screw on, screw off.
But wait a minute your honor. On the other barrel that I got arrested for that was pinned and welded via the ATF method, I notice it now has holes in both the cap and barrel. You had to drill it out!
Just saying. I like arguing.

I'm driving up with it to Collector and ask them.
Scott pinned and welded a faux hider for me a while back. Should be no prob but may take a while to get done.

very wrong. it is VERY easy to comply with a vague law. vague is what we want. you can never be convicted with vague.

I see it differently. In my opinion, it's easier to have definitions.
California defines everything. They define pistol grips, what a fixed magazine is, what a pistol is, ect.
Because of these concrete definitions, manufacturers were sending in AR's with bullet buttons that required the use of a tool, AR's with a piece of Kydex over the grip so as to prevent that grip from allowing a full grip according to their definition, pistols on the ban list that fired single shot that were easily converted, ect.
Because we have no definitions, manufacturers can't push the issue. Very few AR's with standard bullet buttons are sold. About the only thing that they sell that's a sure shot is the Thordsen and Spur because there is no way in hell those items can be construed to be a pistol grip.
I'd rather have the definitions. If what I have doesn't fall into their definition, there is no way they can prosecute.

They can say you have threads under the steel on your plain barrel too. Just let me run this die down the outside and they'll magically appear.
If you ever get that far in court you're already screwed.

If the barrel is 16.12" per Ruger's specs, I assume that is measured to the end of the threads and not the end of the flash suppressor, correct?

Close bolt. Drop rod into barrel. Mark rod at end of barrel. Remove. Measure rod. This is the barrel length.
Measure barrel. Not attachments.

Unless the flash suppressor is permanently attached it better be, or you have an unregistered SBR.
This thread has me reconsidering JB Weld, I may as well pay the few bucks to have it welded. Suffice to say most upstate LE don't agree with the law but its their job to enforce it, DA's on the other hand tend to be political animals. ;-/

You would still have threads under a pinned and welded cap.
