Here's the deal. I have a standard A3 Bushmaster 16" HBAR upper (non-m4 barrel). I have tried several times to contact Steve at ADCO and the guy at AR15 barrels to see if they can do some work from me and neither has responded. I want to see if anyone knows who ELSE can take my upper and do the following:

-Shorten the barrel to 12.5 thread it and lighten it (Machine under the handguards to a gov. M4 type profile).
-Then I would like to attach a 4" ORIGINAL XM177 CAR 15 suppressor (Bushie sells these)...not the thin 5.5 inch job they sell. Not sure if these can be threaded on or have to be permanent attachment to the upper.

Bottom line I want to GET TO a barrel and suppressor that LOOKS like the picture below.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Our state would require a perm attachment to make 16".  Either of those guys should be able to help you out, and do the job nicely.  It may be worth trying them again.

Stickman. I've tried for over 10 days with zero response from either. Steve has done work for me in the past and its been A-OK! Maybe they are just swamped with work?

Just out of curiosity...why?  Are you going for a nostalgic look or something else.

Its going to be a WA hometown forum pile on here in a few minutes....


I would bet they are busy, but try giving them a call instead of an email.  You will probably have better luck that way.

I'll try Bigbore again. Like I said he did a good job before and maybe he's just swamped.
