Located in Monmouth county. Looking for a reputable shop to do some compliancy work on an AR (stock pin, muzzle brake supply and pin/weld, file bayonet lug). Looking for suggestions based on positive experience and good pricing. 

Spoke with RTSP in Randolph today and their pricing was crazy, would cost me more than the entire rifle. Willing to drive up to about an hour.

The Elmer gun company in upper Deerfield NJ is an FFL 07 manufacturer 856-364-1031. 

Surefire breaks are $85

Pin & weld, lug removal and stock compliance is $65 for the entire package 

That's insane. Comparing that to what RTSP quoted me is absolutely insane. Meaning the prices you just stated are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper.

Will check it out, thank you!

Tier One Defense (was a standalone gunsmith shop) just merged with RTSP. You’re getting boutique custom gunsmith prices instead of gun plumber/armorer prices. 

He does do beautiful work. You're just going to pay for it.

Try talking to Steve @ Monmouth Arms. He did a muzzle brake pin/weld for me a few years ago, I believe he still does compliance work.

Emailed with Steve, quoted 140. Comparable to Elmer but a hell of a lot closer.

Cool, sounds like it may work out for you. 

Beware that Steve likes to talk, so if you give him a conversational inch during your visit he'll take your ear for a mile ride.

Lol I've dealt with him before, he's a good dude.

I've called them 3 times this week and emailed, can't get anyone to answer.

I was in there today, for nothing. Going in it was insanely packed but they were answering the phones.  Not sure why your have trouble reaching them 

Yeah idk, it's all good I have 2 other shops I've been in touch with that have been helpful. I'll proceed with one of them. Both of which are less than half what RTSP was quoting me. Met both in person as well, good people.

Pretty sure Keyport sporting goods does compliance work. I’m in Monmouth County as well and they are helping me out with a transfer right now and have been aces.

Howell Gun Works has a good reputation as well.

Makes me thankful that my son is a welder.  Free compliance work is pretty nice.
