    Detroit Metro Gunsmiths that can weld?

    I've been pulling together a H&K PSG1 clone and I'm finally ready to have the thing welded up. The welder I had intended to use refused because he doesn't have an FFL. Anyone know if there's a smith in the Detroit Metro area with welding skill?

    Doug Jones, ( Acc-U-Rail ) in Rochester Hills, has welded lugs on a pistol barrel (improving lock up) while custom fitting it to the slide.
    I believe he can do anything you want done..(he was a machinist before got into gunsmithing.)

    I'll have to check Doug out. Dakota Tactical has a 4 month backlog of work to get through.

    Dakota Tactical has a backlog because he's good. I would wait unless you don't really want good.

    4 months is not really that long all things considered. He has a good rep and is local, the back log is just proof he is good and in demand.

    Dakota Tactical has a sterling reputation in the HK community. I'd go with them.

    Well Dakota never did pan out. They told me they had a back log and to contact them later but I never could get through. Finally got a reply from their website recently and they're exclusively MP5 production now, no custom work. The search continues I suppose.
