Anywhere Pin and Weld Illegal?

[HGM22]

Are there any places where the pin and weld (permanent attachment of muzzle device to bring barrel length up to 16'') is not legal? I'm thinking a state/city law?

That's a very broad question. Maybe a better way would be "is it legal in x,y,and z cities?".

The pin and weld doesn't hold up under the unSafe act in New York. Something on the end of your semi muzzle makes it too evil for Comrade Cuomo.

A bit broader response than OP's query - pin and weld isn't an approved method in Canada.

The claimed Canadian standard is only rifled barrel with similar steel for the extension. Realistically that means re-barrelling, since abutting and welding two separate sections of barrel is too dangerous for most rational gunsmiths or users to consider.

Thanks for the replies. I kept it broad out of plain curiosity as to how other places do it. But, more specifically I was thinking of Chicago/Cook County area and/or Illinois.
