I'm looking for a gun smith who can do quality work on an AR. I recently ordered a new muzzle break and front flip sight for my STAG Model 1. I would like the stock muzzle break to be removed, the current A2 front sight/gas block removed (intact), replaced with the front flip-up sight/gas block, and a new muzzle break perm. attached.

 

How much would such a thing cost to do?

Invest in the AR armorers and builders course from AGI and save yourself the hassle of having to find a smith

and pay for something that you can easily do yourself. That's the beauty of these rifles is that everything is easily

doable on them for the average guy with a little know how and some simple tools.

 

AR-15.com has more builders info then anywhere else on the AR platform.

I can do most of the work myself... the only thing i need is someone to put the muzzle brake back on, weld it, and pin it.

If you do it yourself you can pin or JB weld it cleanly it will never come off easily trust me.

How do I remove the old brake easily? I don't have many of the tools required...

Dremel grind down the weld until the pin can be removed. If the brake still sticks a bit use a cut-off wheel on the dremel to split it lengthwise (Carefully of course) untill it will unscrew. Take off FSB, install new one. use a pencil to mark the barrel lenghtwise from the center of the pin hole already in the barrel to the FSB, then measure the distance from the FSB to the center of the hole. Put on the new Muzzle device, and index it with the crush washer/peel washer so it's lined up how you need it to be (if necessary.. some Devices dont need to be indexed), make a witness mark on the device with the pencil against the line you already put on the barrel, then measure up from the FSB to determine where you need to drill the brake. Remove the brake drill the hole, re-install, put in the pin, and weld over the hole. Hardest part is the welding.

 

As posted earlier ARFCOM in the AR-15 section under "Build Your Own" has a tutorial on how to do this with Pics.

Yes, the welding is what is most troublesome. I don't even know where to begin with that.

 

As for the other stuff, I might be able to do the work at my parent's place. I need brass punches for the FSB, and I think he may have a Dremel.

Looks like I'm gonna have to call the aforementioned gunsmith. I tried drilling the pin out, but it looks to be made of sterner stuff than the muzzle brake itself. Fucking NJ stupid Assault Weapons Ban bullshit.

They said they don't do that kind of work anymore...

 

Any other gun smiths in the area?
