In the Anchorage or valley areas, looking for a quality gunsmith to do a pin and weld job on a 14.5 barrel so I can move the upper off one of my SBR lowers. Just wondering if there’s anybody locally that somebody might recommend versus sending it off?

Thanks in advanced.

Ship it out of state, every time I tried to use local it was twice the cost of anywhere else and the projected wait time was stupid. I used a guy on muldoon who is popular and took months to get my AR upper back

Yeah, I called the guys Raven linked to, wanted to charge 1 1/2 times what ADCO does, with a pretty long wait time. Guess I’m going to break my upper down and send it to ADCO.

Honestly, that's your best bet. Unless it's something stupid simple, most places will charge up the ass. Wild West wanted $75 to change a muzzle device and it wasnt a p&w

Alaska Custom Firearms pinned and welded my 14.5" and it turned out awesome.

Steve at ACF is a great guy but he’s got a ton of work and it’s really only him in the shop.
