Received a 16" pencil barrel back from John Thomas at Retro Arms Works yesterday. Converted it to XM177E2 specs. His work was great. Shipped it off on Monday, and received it a week later. Great person to deal with. Another step closer on this project.

Yep!  JT does awesome work for a fair price with a fast turn around.

Just want to second what OP said.
Small parts shipped and returned and installed in less than a week! In fact, I got the return shipping notice the same day he got the parts!

Thanks John!

Fedex dropped two of my uppers on John's door step at 2:04 in the afternoon for muzzle device pin-and-weld service.  

The post office picked them up and had possession of them for return at 2:48 PM.  That's simply incredible!

Another satisfied JT customer weighing in—i don’t know how he does it!

He must have paid the Retro Gnomes to finish work while he sleeps....like the cobbler who had gnomes....the old fairy tale?

Never mind, I’ll say it: ok Boomer....

Bottom line: JT rocks & does amazing turn around time.

I sent a barrel and front sight base to him and had them back the same week.  Great work.

Has JT started back custom work yet? Earlier this year he was swamped. I need a barrel shortened and re-profiled, plus front sight base added.

He's installing an A1 FSB, on a new barrel, for me right now. It will probably be mailed back to me tomorrow today (just got the tracking number).

Email and ask.

JT is the man. I called him a while back and he spent some time with me helping with stuff he was not even going to make money on. He is a great guy.
