| A few months ago I bought a PAWS transferable M16. I want to switch the upper with one that didn’t come with it unfortunately the pins won’t go through which means it’s probably slightly out of spec. I know the upper works fine because I’ve used it on my other M16. Is there someone local we trust with this kind of work? If so who is it. I’d rather not deal with the pain of shipping my M16 somewhere to have it worked on. I had to do this with my American 180 and that was a PITA. |

If a southie, there is a local guy who technically probably isn't a "gun smith" but is a whiz with MG's. Not sure how you would get in touch with him but his name is Mike Duke. He has a youtube channel. https://youtube.com/@mikeduke6755?si=mvszAmgOCnhNU3c- I've met and talked with him both at the Boulder City range and at the Big Sandy shoot. If he can't help, he certainly should be able to direct you to someone who can. |
