Who to Cut & Crown my barrel?

[Kalash]

I want to get the barrel on my 6920 cut to 14.5" and crowned.Does anyone have a good smith they could recommend to me?

I had thought about buying a new Colt M4 6921 barrel but they're $495(w/front sight assembly) from Specialized Armament.

ADCO has pretty damn good service and turnaround now adays....

I'd go with AR15barrels.com. Randall is an excellent guy to have work on your AR. I've had two uppers sent in now, and I've been more than happy each time.

Plus, IIRC, his prices are much lower than ADCO's. He is also in the business of making barrels, so I'm sure he knows 110% what he's doing.

Nice to step up (or down rather) to the 14.5in. Once you go 14.5, 16 plus FH feels way too long.

I'll bite...Why?

I would be cautious with Randall I know he was having issues on TOS about not returning money to people who have paid for services not rendered.

You sound like one of my kids.
Because I want to.

Thanks for the replies guys.

ADCO pays particular attention to the crown and also to ensure the threads are concentric to the bore.

And smart money says you'd probably have the barrel back the same work week.

I do not have much to say about Randall, never had work done by him. But I have seen the numberous reports of people asking for refunds are their work orders to be filled...

I think I'll go with ADCO.
For one their closer to me,big +,and they have contact info with a phone # to be able to get ahold of.

I'm almost positive the answer is no but I'll ask just in case.Better safe than sorry.
Do you think my gasport will need to be enlarged any because I'm hacking off 1.5" of barrel?

ADCO, without even a hesitation.
