    Help building my 20" DMR

    Good evening, I'm currently looking at creating a 20" DMR style upper to shoot suppressed 77GR TMK/SMK. So far I have it narrowed down to a 20" Krieger 1/7" or 1/7.7 upper from CLE with a matched bolt and hoping they can install a rail as well. I would greatly appreciate any input you may have...

    To clarify, there is a gas relief port on the bottom of the muzzle brake to be used with the KAC can. The gas port on the barrel was never touched. I agree however, a lot of this is on me for not knowing more about pin and weld jobs before trusting someone with my equipment. Lesson learned the...

    So there is a local guy who came recommended, has good reviews etc. to do a pin and weld job. Below is the end result on my brand new Noveske Afghan Stainless barrel. Not sure if it's totally ruined yet, going to try and get a bore scope in it a look...

    Adjustable turret for K16i?

    @Burdy That flip top turret seems like the move. Would you mind elaborating on how to get one from Europe? Were they a limited production item that was only sold in the EU?

    Yeah, shame on me. Admittedly I'm extremely new to anything under a 16" barrel and dealing with the NFA rules, so without reference I thought maybe it was just a cosmetic error I can clean up. I took his word that all of the dark spots on the barrel were from the rocksett being burned. After...

    Oh, he welded the pin through the bottom gas port so that's out of the question 😭. I don't shoot suppressed but yea.

    I trusted the local gunsmith for my pin and weld

    The only reason I'm not putting his name and shop out on blast is because he was a cordial and decent guy when I was working with him, so I would like to try to resolve anything before putting his name out there. I'm going to talk to him about refunding the cost of the work done and probably a...

    This was a group using AE 223 at 25 yards, so the accuracy seems to be okay. What are you guys thoughts on this? Do you think it could only be some cosmetic damage on the outside or should the whole thing be thrown away?
