I have a post ban bushmaster, that im trying to return to normal configuration. It has a heavy barrel. I want to have it contoured to GI weight and have the front sight base replaced with one that has the bayonet lug. I want to have the barrel reparkerized after the work prescribed.
A while back I posted a thread asking for advice to have my barrel threaded for a flash suppressor. I was advice to use a gent on here, although I cant recall his name. He charged a fair price and turned the upper around quickly. The work performed was good, But there is now a problem of sorts. After some measuring, it appears that the barrel is about 1/8 of an inch too long. The smith in question just threaded my barrel, but i guess didnt measure it to make sure the muzzle ring of a bayonet would line up properly should I ever replace my FSB. So, while im happy to have a flash suppressor, im now looking to have the rest of the work performed and am in need of suggestions once more as to a smith to do this work. ADCO comes highly recommended from several folks, and best I can tell the work I want would cost around 300-350. Thanks for the input and God bless. |

Think about just changing out the barrel assembly. Depending on what length
Barrel you want to go with will dictate the cost. Check out midway usa for example They have a model 1 16" carbine barrel with front sight base and bayo lug for $145.00 Shop around a little I think you could do what you want for about half the cost. Just my 2 cents. |
