Gunsmithing Cut a 16" barrel to 14.7" and pin the muzzle devic

[DP425]

I'm looking for a good smith to handle this work for me. I inquired a while back but never got around to doing it. I'm anxious to do it now as I want to have more projects to work on. I'm looking for QUALITY work, no hacksaw and brass screw stuff, but I also don't need match grade work/costs either.

I'll provide everything needed (gas block, barrel nut, hand guard compression ring, bird cage). PM me if you can do it or just let me know a good smith to send it to!

Thanks guys!!

save your money, you wont tell the difference afterwards.

I'd say you'd be money ahead to sell your barrel and buy one of the shorter length. You'll likely have at least $100 in gunsmithing work to do that, which is far more than you'd lose by selling yours and buying another one.

Its for looks only- 14.5" won't do it since it would be too short w a standard bird cage.

So, anyone know where to send it or someone who does the work?

adco is known for reasonable/good work. keep in mind once shes done.......its a PITA to remove it. I would just sell the barrel,and get a 14.5 with a longer flash hider(yhm or even better one) the little bit of cosmetic gain,is not worth it IMO.

eta. if you are going to pin on something, I would pin on an improvement,like a recoil check or a more modernized-improved flash hider
