Favorite AR10 Smith?

[SFree]

In the small frame gas gun world there are many smiths of notoriety, e.g., Compass Lake,White Oak, ADCO, et al. Who is your go to smith for large frame barrel work and or problem solving?
Chambering and set up/upper assembly for .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor on supplied upper, Armalite specifically?

I have used ADCO multiple times for AR15 smithing. Never for large bore though. Fast turn a round and decent pricing, but not sure of their expertise with ar10

I also build all my own but I dont use factory barrels. My barrels are done to my specs using Bartlein or Rock Creek cut rifled blanks by PVA. After learning my less on my first custom barrel years ago I also give PVA a JP QPQ barrel extension. They are the most refined and well made barrel extensions out there. Previous BAT barrel extensions have very sharp edges which tear up your brass taking nasty gauges out of necks and shoulders. Now, some smiths refine BAT extensions by polishing them up before installing them but not all.
