barrel for a flashhider? Is this a reasonable do it yourself job? Any tools needed other than the die? I will be picking up my first AR in over 10 years next week. It looks kind of silly without the flashhider. |

I sent mine to ADCO and they did a great job, and it was back in my hands in one week. www.adcofirearms.com/ |

HS, Thanks for the link. Cost? I have a list of 'smiths that I use from all over the country for my collection of SxS shotguns but haven't used a rifle 'smith, particularly an AR 'smith in a decade or more. Any suggestions for someone in Utah. I'll go post the question on Rocky Mountain forum. |
Trust Herman. ADCO is one of the best. They did one for a friend of mine. Looks and functions great. |

I'm closer to Utah that Adco is, but it really does not matter as USPS priority mail only takes a couple days from either of us. If you pull the barrel off the receiver, I charge $30 for basic threading. If you send the whole upper, I charge $60 because I have to tear it all apart to get the barrel in the lathe. All my threading jobs are done with a live center in the muzzle and get re-crowned afterwards. Some people have found the barrels to be more accurate when I am done with them. I attribute this to the crown that gets re-done as part of my threading service. All my threading jobs are done concentric to the bore and are completely capable of safe use with a suppressor.
