Looking for good gunsmith to install flash hinder on m1a

[batboy2000]

I went to the local gunsmith and he asked me $100 since he has to weld the flash hider. However i don’t think you need to weld it based on YouTube tutorials. I’d love to do it by myself but since I don’t have tools for sight adjustment and removal I decided to look for gunsmith with affordable cost.. any recommendation around griffin or clayton,henry county?

Need more info on the gun and what flash hider you want on it ect ect. Pics speak more than words.

If it's a standard m1a this will work,https://www.griffinarmament.com/taper-mount-stealth-flash-suppressor/ if it's a Socom this will work

This is what I’m planning to put it on.

there's a small Allen screw just under the front sight, take it out, then loosen the castle nut with castle nut pliers, remove old flash hider then reverse the procedure.

NO welding is needed.

does it require special sight adjustment? I never messed with iron sight before and I’m afraid if it gets messed up

Yeah no need to bring that to a Smith. Good videos on YouTube of this also I'm sure.

You will have to re-zero your rifle but if you put the front sight on the new flash hider the same position as the old it will be close.
