Any recommendations in the general Raleigh area for someone to put a barrel and parts into an AR receiver? I don't feel like investing in the tools to do a one-off job.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes that’s a bit more than putting together the lego pieces.
I have a reaction rod, but I don't believe a 22 barrel has the splines.Thanks guys, at this point all I have is the barrel, the hand guards, and .22 insert! My plan is to make a dedicated .22 rimfire upper using my Ciener M261 type kit and the BCA barrel I just received yesterday. I'm planning on getting an Anderson slick side upper. I considered doing the assembly myself except that the barrel has no front sight base and will need to have one drilled and installed and I also didn't want to buy the barrel wrench. I think getting the front sight base properly aligned and drilled is the biggest challenge to my skill level.
Do you desire a pinned on fsb for your build? There are many other options that don’t require drilling for pins. A clamp on or set screw gas block will do the job. Even of holding the Handguard mount in place if you want clamshell style and not free floating.
I’m not 1000% sure as I’ve never looked into it but I thought all .22lr “AR” rifles were blowback. So the gas port/block/tube system is immaterial to the function of the rifle?
Just curious. As I’m not understanding the need but would understand the want
Why are you doing s FSB? Just because you want a basic handguard? If you don't need a gas system, why not just do a basic free float like an ALG or an Aero? Probably can find one for under $75 shipped.
Only because I want the issue type front sight base and I already have the Carbine handguards.

There are several options for A2 clamp on styles. Just one example above.
If that was my project I'd talk with Tom Beliveau in Wendell:
ESCI Gunsmith
100 E Fourth St, Wendell, NC 27591

There is another good smith in north Raleigh, but you may not live long enough to get your gun back from him. No disrespect intended, it's just the way it is.
I would offer to put it together if I was home. Can't help with gunsmith in the Raleigh area.
