jkimmeljr 0 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Looking for a recommendation of someone who can weld on HK sights and a charging handle. Prefer to drop off, but will ship. I have scoured the forum but can't find any info. Thanks! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Eastern PA near Plymouth Meeting/King of Prussia. The places listed "Williamsport/Erie"are about 2 hrs from me. Just trying local because I don't want the hassle of shipping a firearm.

USP40 1 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Be careful , be very careful when you have some one do the welding for you. I had a local welding shop welded a rail on my S12 cover for me and I end up have to buy a new cover. Granted he did a nice job but the rail was crooked. I couldn't get mad at the guy he is a welder not the gunsmith that could also do the welding. just my two cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or someone who is not familiar with the Saiga messing up the location. Ok I am down with shipping if someone has some good recommendations.. Looks like Tromix is a def no go..

USP40 1 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Nate ( Gunfixr) can also do the job for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teddyraynelson 2 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Sounds to me like a good weldor is hard to come by. Steel is steel and aluminum is aluminum and it shouldn't matter if someone is a weldor and a gunsmith, a qualified person should be able to do the job and not warp your parts into malfunctioning. Just a thought from a west coast weldor. I've welded on all sorts of things from boats, quads, equipment, firearms, helicopters, tools, you name it and I have welded on it. All types of materials are different and should be treated differently. I'm not going to use the same machine/technique to weld on some sights as I would to weld on a ripper tooth for a backhoe. Ask questions before you agree to pay someone to wreck your shit, or use a reputable shop and pay what they ask. Knowledge is expensive and you get what you pay for.

USP40 1 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Redneck , The Welder that did mine he did a beuatiful tig job. The only thing was he didn't pay attention to the rail I guess. Yep it was an expensive lesson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
