Service: Front End Pin & Weld Conversion for Assembled Rifle

This service is for the labor of working on an already complete rifle for a front end conversion. We can apply this to a rifle that we sell on our site (just add it to the same order as the rifle) or we can provide instructions on sending your rifle in for us to work on.

Conversion involves replacing the front sight and gas block for a combo block, cutting down the barrel, and permenently installing a muzzle device via pin & weld for the barrel to measure over 16".

Price breakdown is as follows:
-Pulling barrel and reinstalling (headspacing) - $150
-Cut and crown barrel - $20
-Thread barrel - $20
-Pin & Weld - $75

By default we will clean up the weld over the pin and polish it smooth. At no additional cost we can also dimple the weld so you know exactly where it is.

We offer a selection of combo gas blocks and muzzle devices, or you can send your own parts in. Some gas blocks will require an additional step fee of $25 to fit. Jmac, Dissident Arms, and any other 90 degree gas block will require this service. WBP gas block combos will not require any additional turn down.

WBP gas block may leave a visible 3mm pin hole after removing the old gas block, due to having a very small footprint on the barrel. We can clean this up for an additional fee, or swap for a completely new barrel.

We can also push your existing front sight back on the barrel rather than using a combo block. This option will incur a step fee of $25

There will be an additional disassembly/reassembly fee of $50 for any rifles that have rail systems that need to be taken apart beyond a normal field strip. Standard AKM furniture will not have a fee.

Work does not include refinishing and will leave some visible marks from the process. We can do touch up paint for an aditional cost (Additional options TBA).
