AR work around Boston?

[Stef]

Is there anyone in the area with a YHM forearm wrench that would like to help me install a new barrel/forearm or know of a shop that will do it?

Did you try FS in Woburn?

 

[Len-2A Training]

Zero Hour Arms in Easton/W. Bridgewater is very likely to have one and be able to do anything to a black rifle.

Both were closed today so I couldn't check. I'm planning to call around them tomorrow.

I have some tools that you can borrow if you want.
Does the YHM require YHM specific tools?

I have a barrel nut wrench and a handguard removal tool (just pulls the delta ring down for you).

As far as the front sight goes, you'll just need a hammer and punch. It may help to have one of those front sight blocks but you don't really need one.

Yeah, the Yankee Hill wrench is a little different than the generic ones. You can turn the lock ring without it and make a pin wrench pretty easy but the YHM tool ensures an easy non-marking job.

I know that Santurri Ltd in North Attleboror has one for sure. I have a YHM forearm on my AR.

Install the lock ring with red locktite, tighten the forearm against the lock ring with a strap wrench

Thanks for the pointer, I'll be seeing David Saturday morning.

Great, since I just realized I have that YHM wrench at home on my bench, I'll make sure I get it back to him before then

 

[Stef]

D'oh!

I stopped in at Santurri this morning and David was just finishing up working on someone's revolver. He got the barrel and forearm on and laser boresighted it to true up my BUIS and I was out of there in about half an hour. When I tried to pay with plastic, he said just mail him a check.

Two thumbs up for Dave Santurri.
