I need to get muzzle devices on two uppers swapped/timed, and a Law folder installed on a lower.
Anyone have suggestions in Dallas/Plano?

Buy crush washers and use a wrench to swap muzzle devices.

Bad idea for suppressor use.

I'm thinking hard about getting into a suppressor. Forgive the ignorance, but why does a gunsmith need to do it? Just to make sure the devices are torquedoing properly?
quote:
What do you mean by timed correctly? Just that the muzzle device is oriented so the gas disperses laterally? I had mine installed by a smith who used the shims that came w the quick attachment and I'm still having grouping and POI issues, which is why I ask.

It's a Saker 7.62 with the quick attach MAAD set up. The MAAD seems to be intact. No sign of baffle strikes but when you look down the bore I swear you can see more baffles on one side of the bore than the other when you move your eye off perfect center. Gunsmith was supposed to shoot it today and let me know what he thinks this week. You have any recs for a gunsmith around Houston that specializes in cans? All I'm looking for is 1.5 moa out to 200 yards w the can on. It shoots 1 moa w the can off. I want to stick w quick attachment system so I can quick swap between 3 rifles.
quote:Bender- thanks to you & Agfan for taking the time to answer. To take this further please explain about rails. For a first time build I'm thinking about buying EyeGuy' s free float build package. It includes a keymod free float handguard. For accessory mounting I also see references to other rail systems such as Picatinny and M-LOK. In general what are the advantages of the types and how interchangeable are accessories?
Forged for your first, for sure.
Free float is the way to go for several reasons. Specifically, lightweight free float is the way to go.
The standard AR-15 handguards don't allow you to attach anything. Things like lights and bipods are incredibly useful. A free float tube will also allow you to attach iron sights further out that a conventional carbine gas block/sight set up, and increased sight radius is a good thing....and as the other guy mentioned, free float means that weight/pressure on the rail from accessories/sling/being put on a rest doesn't interfere with your accuracy. It's small, but it can affect poa/poi.
Quad rails also let you attach accessories, but many of them are not free float and all of them are heavy.

Thanks Bender and everyone else. This thread is a great education for me. I think ill stick with building a 5.56 AR15 as a starter to learn and leave other calibers till later. unfortunately I didn't get in on EyeGuy's group buy but I think I can find a stripped lower here in the DFW area to go with his build package, or similar. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
