I could buy another upper to do this to, but I'd be in a full upper $500 PLUS the work he has to do.
I plan on buying another AR in the next year a 16" HBAR. I'll have that as my "stock" weapon.
My 20"HBAR bushy has plans though I think.
I want the Mini-y off, and while I'm there I might as well do the following.
Buy FIRSH handguards, buy new gas block with flip down front sight, send it to kurt, have him install handguards, gasblock/front sight, and install A2 or A3 tacbrake to get that silly mini-y off.
And then this is where this thread fits in, the turning and/or fluting of the barrel while kurts there.
And while kurt has is doing the work, buy a tuned RRA NM trigger and install it when it comes back from kurt.
I mean, I'm already there I might as well do it. [rolleyes]
What you guys think?
Edited to say: Total work and parts if ALL of this is done. $600
New Upper plus all this work: $1100
