Maybe it's not possible. The gunsmith at Duffy's told me end of June shouldn't be a problem originally. When I emailed him yesterday asking for an estimate he told me he was backlogged and to pick it up if waiting longer was an issue. Was just looking for a time estimate since we overshot the original one, have a feeling he may just be trying to reduce workload due to the backlog. I'm just trying to see if there are other options.Gunsmiths? Fast? That's a good joke. I've been waiting since March for something of mine to be professionally restored by my buddy who specializes in antiques.
Good luck.
I did a form 1 to my m85 too, which is the same gun but in 5.56. I am debating going the DIY route on that one. Looking at getting a reciever blank from AK builder to use as a template.No smith worth a damn, particularly in a specialty area, is going to be without a backlog and none will be hurried up. They have plenty of work, hence the backlog.
I am not the most patient person so my solution was to learn to do most of the work myself.
