I was gonna go SBR but with the trust cost ($500), $200 to the man and another $100 for the transfer to the store close to me....it was gonna cost almost what I'll have in this weapon in addition to the weapon.
Plus, I really just wanted something I could tinker with and build onto slowly.
To avoid this dilemma, who offers a proper silver solder attachment method? Seems a later remelting and cold bluing is less invasive than dremeling/sawing/whatever and destroying an old FH.
If you insist on pinning, I'd use an A2 or a Phantom, but I wouldn't waste a Vortex of Battlecomp on such a config.
I thought there was still a 600-800 degree margin between solder application temp and steel heat treating temp. Seems pretty generous to me. I suppose someone who hasn't a clue might have a problem, I was just asking for recommendations of smiths with a clue.
I definitely don't recommend that dremel method for the faint of heart. I plan on setting this weapon up once with top quality parts to build the lightest and most effective weapon I can. I have other AR's that are much easier to change parts in and out on. If I did decide to change anything out on this setup it will be simply sights or optics. I have already built one AR from the ground up so this one is just a little more challenging to my skills.
I consider the 14.5" + pinned muzzle device a good option for:
1) Someone who KNOWS what configuration they like, and is not likely to change anything. Pinning the muzzle device you KNOW meets you needs is not a waste.
2) Someone who is willing to buy another barrel/upper later when they want to change something.
well the Lawyer I talk to today wants 600.00 for the trust and then 200.00 for the stampI think I am happy with it like it is for now.
