Need recommendation in Dallas area

Hello all.

Need to get a 14.5" barrel pinned and welded in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

I could do the drilling and pinning but the welding skills are long gone and my guy has retired so do any of you in this area know of someone who is very skilled at MIG/TIG welding for this application?

Thanks

have you considered sending it to ADCO? I think they charge around 45.00 or 50.00. Turn around is usually about 10 days.

If you haven't purchased the barrel yet...

YHM sells completed 14.5 barrels with one of their muzzle breaks / flash hinders, brazed & pinned and refinished.

if you need gunsmithing work done, Advanced Gunworks in Roanoake is pretty good.

they make nice 1911's too.

My gunsmith of choice

McClelland's Gunshop in the 1400 block of Centerville. If they can't accomplish a job, they'll be up front with you rather than do a half-a job. They have worked on all my on duty weapons since 1978. Trustworthy craftsmanshio is a good description of their work.
