I have a 14.5" middie that is complete except for welding over the pinned flash hider;  I've done the drilling and it is all set, just don't have the equipment to weld over the pin.  Buddy with a body shop has TIG setup, but I'm having trouble getting our schedules to work.

Anyone in central IN (am near Noblesville) have a recommendation for who might do this?

Thanks in advance.

call Anthony, at Law Guns.  It's located by Garfield Park, south of downtown Indy.  If he can't do it for you, he can likely point you in the right direction.

Harbor Freight has a 110v flux core wire feed welder for $112, and you can find an auto-darkening helmet for about $37.
It might seem like overkill to buy a whole welder for one flash suppressor pin, but it only takes a second and you'd be surprised how much stuff you find to fix weld on once you have a welder.

I like this plan. Just make sure to practice a little before hitting the plug weld on your rifle.
