Looking for a LWRC AR Gunsmith

[jonboyhst]

Hello, We are looking for a Gunsmith that works on LWRC Rifles and has the LWRC Barrel Nut Wrench 9-Tooth, I would like to have the factory 556 barrel replaced or barreled with a 6.8 spc Blackstone barrel, also install a SA adjustable gas block, and check headspace, shim and bed barrel to receiver, polish feedramps, install and time muzzle device. Thank you so much.

You're in Kentucky and can't find a gunsmith?

 

[jonboyhst]

Believe it or not the is not a one Gunsmith in KY, that I would trust, we been short on Gunsmiths all my life. I cannot find a Gunsmith in the US that will work on LWRC

OP can you just order the barrel nut wrench from LWRC? Swapping a barrel is fairly easy. Polishing the feed ramps is easy too, just need a Dremel with the cone shaped polishing bit and some polish. As for head space you could buy some gauges and do it yourself as well. For the parts you need it'll be cheaper and faster to do it yourself. The gas block is easy too. YMMV

Doug does good work. We used to work together.

Please be careful on who you choose to do the work.

Not every gunsmith and armorer uses the right tools to do the job. Not fixturing the upper when the barrel but is tightened or loosened can damages the upper and/or index pin. The Midwest URR is best to avoid this issue.

I can't express how many people damage AR's by not having the right tools and fixtures.

I would also suggest using a different adjustable gas block. The S.A. tend to have long term issues with the auto bleed failing to function properly. The SLR is a better option in my experience.

I'm not an I.P. here so I won't offer to do the work. I'm too backlogged to take in work. I'm just trying to steer you in safe direction.

Thank you Sir, you are the first that though the SLR is better, most all recommends the SA, you are the master AR Gunsmith and I will follow your directions.

 

[clandestine]

thank you sir, do you work on LWRC Rifles?

I do work on non piston LWRC AR's. Just unable to take in work due to my class schedule and work backlog.

 

[clandestine]

I see your booked, Tuckahoe Gunworks and Hydrographic in Denton MD, are they ok Sir?

I don't have any knowledge on their work. Could be great, could be bad.

I hope my input was helpful. I'm just sharing my experience. I no longer consider myself a master or expert. I just share what I know and have learned.
