AR gunsmith in eastern MA...

[cevtv]

Can anybody recommend a gunsmith in eastern MA to pin & weld a muzzle brake on an AR15?

Thanks

You'd either want to pin it or weld it, not sure why you would want both.

Anyway, North or South shore?

That parking lot is by far the hardest lot to get in an out of. Especially if rt 1 is carrying traffic which is 99% of the time.

I thought the MA "AWB" stated it had to be pinned & welded.

I didn't realize Zero Hour did that. Cool, they are 5 minutes from my house.

Thanks!

Came to $325ish. The gun was used and abused as a single shot parade gun. The barrel was welded, the gas block was welded, the action didn't open, and the stock was a mess. He removed all the welds, refinished the stock, replaced necessary parts, and fixed the action. It shoots like a dream now.

It doesn't, it's just that people construe that that's what "permanently attached" means because that's how BATFE interpreted it during the federal
ban. The weld and pin thing isn't in the law, IIRC, but is an ATF tech branch thing.

I had/have a 20" chrome lined heavy barrel Fulton Armory upper that had a birdcage flash hider and a bayonet lug on it. Marc at ZHA took off the flash hider, silver soldered on a compensator, cut off the "ears" of the bayonet lug and blued the cuts. Whole thing cost me $72 including the compensator.
