Anyone in N Phoenix willing to help change a barrel nut?

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Anyone in N Phoenix willing to help change a barrel nut?

#1

Post by GunSmoke »

Hi guys,

Need to swap a barrel nut on an ar9, but I don’t have the right type of upper receiver vice block (it’s a forged upper so a normal block doesn’t work, needs to be the pin type). Does anyone have that type that would be willing to let me stop by and swap a barrel nut?

PS. For what it’s worth, I’m not a felon or a creepy individual, I’ve bought and sold with many individuals on this and the previous version of this board. Happy to flash you a ccw if it helps with comfort etc. lol anyway thanks for the consideration.

I could do that, but would also have to buy a vice! Lol

I have all the upper pieces to hold it and a vice. If you have the wrenches for the nut or it is a standard barrel nut, you can do it here. Just need to get schedules together. NW Valley. send a PM.
