Who is the kickass custom machines shop in the AR world? I want the rails off my MWS.

oh lawwwwd

Sell it and buy the slick version.  You are going to have to pay for shipping, machining, and refinishing.... I have never attempted this process but my guess is you aren't going to come out much better than you would by selling/buying another rifle.

Might call ADCO and see if they can do it... locally we have Innovative Arms who has a CNC and does a good job but he's been pretty swamped with suppressor production.  Those are the only two that come to mind.

Adco is good to go but I'm not 100% that they do that.

Not a clue, most guys who have done it, do it themselves.

I milled most of the slots off two of my forends.  It takes for ever...  It is not hard, just very time consuming.  Probably not worth it.

Any reason you would not just buy another upper and swap the parts? Seems like a lot of work and waste of a nice upper, then sell the MWS and recoup the cost.

sounds to me like a great reason to purchase an additional rifle..

Seems like there would be a lot more than just one recomendation.  I'll source  locally. As far as why.... If I have to explain, you wouldent understand.

You're going for a KAC URX type of look?

Someone in the KAC picture thread in their industry page did some milling on their URX and it came out very well.

I forget what page they were on but it would be worth mentioning in the KAC forums to see if anyone replies quickly.

I also recall seeing someone mill out their BCM KMR top rail a little bit in the 2A-Armament BALIOS Lite pic thread.

Sounds like you'll have a great looking rifle once it's finished.

What does the current setup look like?

That was Scarr who did that work, it looks great! I don't know if he does contract work or not.
