[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Local IL shop to pin and weld 14.5 barrel

Posted: 6/19/2018 11:48:00 PM EDT

Does anyone here have recommendations for local shops in Northern IL that do a good job pinning and welding a 14.5 barrel? I saw Maxon in Des Plaines offers the service but was wondering if anyone has personally used them

Other option is to send to adco or Rainier

Due to liability reasons I am no longer undertaking machining project involving firearms. Thank you for the shout-out but please un-publish my phone number.

To OP, best wishes on completing your project. Any competent machinist / fab shop should be able to do your project for well under $100.

Try John at retro arms works. He is in southern Illinois but does some great work and I would assume he would do a pin and weld. You would have to ship the barrel but usually I have my parts back within a week.

I've had the opportunity to shoot FAL rifles built by DSA. They are top shelf.

A gunsmith in Bensenville did my pin and weld for about $60 if I recall correctly.
