Need a shop to pin comp and shave bayo lug

Recommended Posts

So after an hour of trying to shave the bayo lug off my upper im giving up, my dremel just doesnt have the balls to do it. I was going to take the front sight post completely off and bring it to work to take to the grinder, but i cant get the pins out and i dont want to scratch anything up. 

 

Now im looking for a shop Recommendation around mt holly/lumberton area to shave the lug and pin and weld the comp. I want the job to be good so if you have personal experience with a place please let me know. Thanks!

 

Disclaimer: i do not have any operable lower receivers or other ARs while in possession of this upper....

Just curious, what attachment were you using on the dremel?

More of a grinding wheel than a cut off wheel, but its also a cordless dremel. Good for polishing parts but not much else.

 

 

If you give me a call - we do this work all the time..........

I was hoping to find somewhere close but I have your number, ill give you a call tomorrow sometime. Comps in the mail and should be here this week sometime. Thanks!

You only need to remove the ears of the lug to make it legal. If your dremel will not do it, you can probably do it with a hack saw or use a regular power drill with a grinding wheel to get the ears off-then use some perma blue or some high heat black paint to touch it up. You do not need to weld the comp,(unless 14.5") all you need to do is pin it, so it cannot be unscrewed from the barrel.

Unless its a 14.5" barrel.  Then BATFE rules apply.

I know you aren't looking to do it yourself.  But this may serve as a warning to others.  Most cordless Dremel type tools lack the torque for "heavier" cutting duty.   I have a few of each type.  Like you said, the cordless is nice for light duty.  Not for cutting.  They shut down rapidly whenever a load is put on the motor to prevent over-heating.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
