Since you have tried to contact them about the problem with no joy, I have to agree. Picts of the FU and then the name of the company.
There is ABSOLUTELY no reason that any other member should have to experience that also. |

removing a FS from a 14.5" barrel and talking about it here is not a good idea.

+1 Unless the FS is permanently attached, that would seem to be an NFA violation. Or maybe I'm missing something? |

Sounds like he had it removed so he could have it cut down to 14.5 from its original length...then to add the FS back on to make it 16. |

You think so? There's nothing that says SBR to me in the original description. Plus, why in the world would someone go through the paperwork and $200 stamp to have a 14.5" SBR ? |

Well, I am sure the company in question was SUPPOSED to attach it permanently, but did a shitty job. That is the point of this post. |

It didnt look right when I was looking at it and I took it to a local gunsmith and he confirmed it with a borescope. I then cut the pinned FS off and had a good look.

Trust me. It will only get worse if other members use this company and get screwed and then get mad because YOU didn't warn them. I would think that the moderators would rather you post the name to warn others then withhold it to keep from starting a crap storm. Use your head son! |

I think it's very admirable that the shop hires blind gunsmiths.
Actually, I think a blind 'smith could have done a swell job. Geez. The word "hack" is incredibly appropriate. |

That is pathetic.
I work in a machine shop. Neither I nor our head machinist had ever worked with a rifle barrel on our lathe. We turned down and threaded an M4 barrel that I was working on and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. It is apparent that this "gunsmith" had no idea what he was doing and does not have the proper equipment for a job like that. |

Yeah but how about something besides someone else's gun barrel? Sorry bout your barrel. I'm thinking someone owes you for fixing it or getting a new one.

I say post the name AFTER you've contacted them about the bbl. Then you can post the name and what sort of corrective action they are going to take, if any.

I was going to use them to cut and perm attach FH's on my 2 barrels. Good thing I haven't had the extra cash to get it done, i guess
I have been told good things about their work. Disappointing Hopefuly, you and +CO work things out. Keep us posted on this. |

I was being sarcastic. I've only heard good things about ADCO...I'd be real surprised if they didn't make good on this. Then again, I'm surprised they release that barrel in the condition they did. Good luck. Edited to add: I am assuming it's ADCO based on the authors statement...not real difficult.

Theres no excuse for that hack job. From my understanding its perfectly ok to report bad business just not bash them(as in "those lousy SOB's look what they did!")
IMO its your duty as a consumer to let other consumers know when I company has done you wrong. |

all i can say is wow and stare at those pictures in disbelief...
after seeing this thread I bet subtract co will try to correct the problem due to the negative publicity, but they should have never let that leave their shop in the first place, that job is unaceptable! on a side note I wonder how many other uppers received the same treatment and the owners are just unaware of it... |
