About a week ago I remember reading in this forum about a reliable gunsmith that specialized in custom retro rifles. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me his name or website.

Hopefully it's not too problematic but I'm looking to get my Brownells xm177e2 converted to xm177e1.

Be aware that doing an E1 correct length barrel requires short barrel rifle status. NFA item.

Alternatively, it can be done as a pistol.
No I’m not tooting my own horn, I’m just saying that braces exist that are quite good and while not visually fitting are a good trade off for being an SBR with all restrictions attached.

I was wondering if someone here can tell me of a custom machinist that can possibly make a xm177e1 style slipover flash hider.

Yes it's oddly specific but I've heard 10" barrels have reliability problems and would rather avoid it.

I've tried https://www.retroarmsworks.com/ but they do not offer that type of service. Thanks.
