View Full Version : Looking for someone local to do basic ar15 smithing...
I'm looking for someone to remove my front sight from my ar15 and replace it with a low profile gas block (parts will be provided). Heck, if you can take off the delta ring assembly in the process that would work too (if not i can just dremel it off)
Someone local to me (im in whittier area, but i am willing to drive). With the tools and knowledge to get this small task done. I would prefer it to be a walk-in/ walk out deal (same day).
So, who can help a fellow calgunner? :D

PM AR15 Barrels...he can do it all. Culver City.
He's out of state right now shooting a match...he'll be back in about a week.
He does check the forum, so you may get a reply soon.
Hm, i will indeed PM him, but wouldnt he have a back log of other things to do first before he does the work on mine? I will look into it, but anyone else out there that does it out of their garage or something?
OR....should i just dremel the front sight down far enough to have clearance underneath a rail system?

He has a sweet tooth - Bring him some Skors bars and you're in front of the line -

He might, but shoot Randall a PM. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have him work on anything I own.

You have a hammer? Beat to fit.......paint to match.:p
Do you have a set of small punches and a hammer? That should be enough to get the gas block off, maybe a wrench for the brake.
Brownell has a ton of DIY videos for free on their web site. Lotsa good info.
well i figure that the rails are just going to cover the gas block, hence the need for a low profile. I found a good link on ar15.com for a DIY low profile block.

Who is randall?
AR15barrels.
That doesn't look bad, but it'll be covered up by the rails anyway so who cares.
OK, time to use some elbow grease for this one, i will attempt to make it look as good as that pic, wish me luck guys :D
well, i'll attempt it on my next day off :P

OP - Relax - Randall will have you done and back on the road in a tad - He works late into the night also - You just picked a bad time - He's on vac. for the next week or so -
