Can you throw out some AR15 smith names for me?

Is there anyone who you can just tell them what you want, give them the $$, and let them put it all together for you, advise you along the way, and make sure it works?

For example, say you want a Wilson billet upper and lower, Christensen CF barrel, Christensen CF handguard, and have very specific ideas on the other parts like grip, buttstock, charging handle, etc. Who would you hire to gather all the parts, build it, make sure it works (correct buffer spring etc.), and is put together right, for a reasonable labor price?

Thanks.

They are the Legos of guns

Get the Marine Corps manual. It's probably available on line. You can build them yourself. You can also find a buddy who has built them and go to his house and use his tools to build yours.

You must check headspace. Have a go and no-go gauge.

Well, I have a couple of multi-purpose AR tools, but don't want to buy the gauges, though I'm sure I could figure it out pretty easily if I did. Thanks.

Where do you live? I've built many AR's for customers. Its real easy, you should get the parts and try it your self. I you run into troble ask for help.

There is a guy in my area that knows his stuff and is well known in some circles as one of the go to guys. Look up Adco firearms in Sylvania,OH, I know he is on AR15 under Adcosteve.
