Reputable Gunsmiths for Installing Piston Kit

[Cann Otshar Eosint]

Hello,

I want to build a new upper with an Adams Arms Piston Kit.

This one - Piston Kit – Standard Picatinny Block - Adams Arms

Looking for a gunsmith that has experience in this type of work.

If you know of anyone, please do share.

Thank You.

Pretty much anyone would be able to do that since it’s the same as sliding a regular gas block on. Hope you didn’t choose a barrel nut that won’t work with it.

A general location helps unless you’re okay with recommendations far away from you.

I am in Boston area, but willing to ship parts anywhere in the US.

Vinnie at Shawsheen Firearms in Billerica is more than capable to do that kind of work.

OK. TY so Much.

I was in Shawsheen yesterday and mentioned this to Vinnie. He said to bring it in and he would look at it.

i have a question on the topic - too lazy to google it...

are any piston kits out there to convert a usual carbine length AR15 in a standard upper like aero M4 into a bufferless configuration - so it would not have to have a buffer tube at all?

That's an interesting idea, to hide the recoil spring in the handguard.

it is a one thing i did not do yet, as i have 0 interest to buy a sig or anything else pre-made like that. would be a fun project to try.
but i am not sure if such a thing even exists, or can be easily fabricated.

Yeah. Closest I've seen is something like the BRN-180, but that uses a custom upper receiver
