Gunsmith to install gas block/hand guard

[firefighterguy]

I know it's supposed to be simple stuff but I'm not comfortable doing it myself.

Who around OKC/North OKC does this?

I need a free float hand guard and gas tube removed/reinstalled.

H&H said it would be $55. I Don't mind paying that much just want it to be done right.

Also any experiences with H&H or other gunsmiths is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I had the sights on my M&P 40 replaced at H&H a few years ago. They did fine and was happy with it but I would probably just buy the tool and a vise block if I were to need to do it again.

As far as doing the handguard with a vise and a couple of tools it is easy to do. If you don't have the tools and want to save the fifty bucks as well as have a little help let me know. I have the barrel extension torque tool rather than a vise block ( http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...-barrel-extension-torque-tools-prod27452.aspx ) and an armourer's wrench. I also have a small portable vise but a bench mount one would be much better. Probably take twenty minutes to do it all.

I'd help you do it or loan you the tools and walk you through it. I certainly wouldn't want to pay $55 for that simple task, unless it was a handguard that takes a very specific proprietary wrench.

It's for a geissele mk8. I have the wrench that's needed I just don't have any of the other tools or knowledge.

Appears to be a very simple install. Is the gas block pinned, clamp, or set screw? You can pay and I'm sure they will do a good job or I'd be happy to help you out or get together with you at some point.

It's a Set screw I believe.

Depends on whether you want to learn and try it for yourself or just pay to have it done and not worry about it. Should be a very quick/easy install, unless something unforeseen happens. Think it over and send me a PM if you get brave!

If you have the wrench for the handguard like I said I can bring my tools and knowledge and we can get it figured out. Edmond isn't far and you will gain the knowledge you need for later on. I am sure a few others would do the same.

Thanks for offering to help. I really appreciate that. I think for peace of mind I would rather pay a gunsmith do it. I have the utmost respect for those that offered help and mean no ill will towards you. Oklahomans are great.
