Work on AR

[jackedco]

I'm looking to have a new free float hand guard put on an AR in the Denver area. I've driven down to the Springs to have this done before but would like to know to do it locally. Any recommendations?

I'm afraid that I don't have any suggestions in your area, but it's really not hard to do by yourself and even after you pay for a few tools you'll likely come out about even and gain a little knowledge.

And not trying to high jack the thread, but out of curiousity, what is the general view of firearms in Denver?

I know a guy that does them for a store up here in the Loveland-Greeley area. If you want his name send me a PM. Like Paradude54 said though, it isn't too tough to do. A couple of tools will get the job done for ya. Either an AR wrench and upper receiver block, or just a plain old dremel.

I have all the tools. If you have a workbench and a vice we're in business.

Thanks for the replies. Might be time to invest in a work bench and vice.

Jeez, I have a vice mounted on some scrap steel that slides into the receiver on my bumper. For barrel work which doesn't panic the neighbors I'll bring it inside and just stand on the end.

The LaRue freefloats require a bit of Dremel work on the usual upper receiver blocks, to clearance for the half-moon shaped plate that holds it in place. Just so you know. It's been a few years but I don't anything special for a Daniel Defense.

Would be plenty willing to let you use it [s]free[/s] for a sixpack, but I'm down in the Springs...
