    Default Local Pittsburgh Pin & Weld?

    Hey all.
    Anyone know someone in the Pittsburgh area that can pin & weld an AR flash hider that:
    1) Doesn’t charge a stupid high fee
    2) Can do it quickly or on the spot so to speak
    3) Can actually weld without it looking like garbage.

    I have one that needs to be done but who I’m doing it for would prefer local instead of going to ADCO or whatnot.

    Thanks!

    2 and 3 seem incompatible. Just sbr it and you can engrave it instead(which is available "on the spot") of messing around with pin weld devices... Also you can swap many different uppers as long as the lower is registered.

    I know that you asked for local, but John at Retro Arms Works probably does some of the best work in the country and usually has super fast turn around times. Everyone on Ar15.com raves about him, myself included. He is in Illinois so shipping is involved, but his turn around time and reasonable prices may be worth it.
    Just throwing it out there.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I*ve worked with John Thomas and he really is the best
    But
    This is for someone else and they would prefer local and not have to wait weeks.

    I realize the thread is over a month old but just noticed it now.

    Justin at X Ring Gunsmithing in Butler did an excellent job on my CAR style upper. You have to look hard to see it and it only took about a week.
