There is some disbute as to permenantly attaching the muzzle device to the barrel. Some argue that this 'create' a single imported part. I would write to the BATFE and get something back in writing from them before I counted that way.

I am one of those that feel strongly that if you permently attach a muzzle attachment to the barrel it is no longer a muzzle attachment but part of the barrel. So, because I used 1200-degree solver solder to attach my AMD-65 break to the barrel WITH a short barrel extension I was able to use my imported AMD-65 muzzle break.
Now, I wouldn't want to silver solder a slant break on myself as there are US made versions now (GlobalTrades.com) but it is an option IMHO but as indicated above I have lots of people that want to disagree with me on that... Personally, if silver solder is good enough that I don't have SBR problems then the barrel must be longer and "muzzle attachment" would refer to something that can be attached or removed and there is no such removal after it is permently attached.
Just my honest oppinions but I would argue that one in court if the BATFE wanted a fight over something so stupid...
