I have a 16" AR barrel that i want cut to 14.5 and a FH permanently attached.  I am thinking about getting a Gemtec HALO, so it needs to be a good job that is concentric/square with the bore.  are there any local smiths in the Reno area that do this for a fair price, or should I just send it off to ADCO?  

thanks,

Supposedly there is a guy down in Carson but that is all hearsay.

The only true smith I know of here is Randy Dierks of Action Gun Works

He is a big time 50 cal and benchrest smith. I have heard that he is a little off sometimes but does high quality work.

I have absolutely no idea if he even works on AR's. I was just planning on sending mine to Adco

Send it to ADCO. Sent mine before i knew about HDI down the street from me.  Barrel was back before I realized I sent it.

There's a guy down in Gardnerville that's our hero when it comes to barrel threading. Check him out at cgwgun.com

honestly unless you need garand work or action pistol stuff reno is kinda short on your needs... send to ADCO they will get it correct.
