The build team is pretty heavily engaged right now.
We do not and have not ever advertised the service, however, depending on the build team's work load, they are sometimes able to take on "conversion" or "upgrade" work for individual customers. This is why we usually ask that you contact us direct, never hurts to ask, right?
The biggest caveats are that there is some work that is logistically impractical for us to take on, such as trying to convert MX-11769s to MX-10160-format tubes, unknown/unknown source/potentially damaged or abused tubes that may become our problem in terms of warranty and product support if we build them into a housing, etc., and finally, it any upgrade or conversion work cannot be allowed to interfere with getting new units out the door and/or repair/warranty work.
Again, if you're looking for this type of service, it's best to contact us directly via e-mail, as it's often a case-by-case basis thing, but while we've done it occasionally in the past, there's a reason it's not a service that we advertise or do business on. It is what it is--but you probably wouldn't call up KAC or another manufacturer and say "hey, I've got a used BCG and barrel that I picked up, can you build it into a complete factory rifle for me with your parts?" Difference is, sometimes we can and will.
But again, it's best to contact us direct by e-mail for that to make sure the inquiry goes direct to the build team. As has already been pointed out, there are some good builders/repairers out there that can do this kind of work as well if we're unable to take on the work at the time moment.
