Anyone have any experiences with Slingpoint's gunsmithing/building abilities?  I'm looking to have some minor (hard to mess up) things done to my AR.  I'm wanting an XS same plane aperture put into the rear sight and I have an ACE M4 SOCOM stock that needs installing.  I usually don't do my own gunsmithing.  Are these guys good?

Go to Classic Arms & Archery on Southland Drive.

Where are you at?  I would help you with your stock for free, they can't be any different to install than a standard M4 stock are they?

I'm in Lexington, and I actually think (not certain) that one might be easier to install than a standard M4 stock; the RET and stock are all one piece.

ETA: I think a buddy of mine has a spanner wrench and the know-how of doing the stock.  So that covers that.  However I still am gonna have to get the sight aperture taken care of by somebody else or get the tools to do it from somewhere.

I would recommend classic arms as well unless you just want to go somewhere else and if you can't really do that yourself (which shouldn't be hard).

Slingpoint is plenty capable to do such work.

+1.  Gotta say this is a big fat DUH question because those guys specialize in black rifles and the like.  Can't say that for any of the other dealers in town that also cator to the fudd crowd.

I got both of my things taken care of.  The stock was barney easy.  I was removing an A2 and installing an Ace SOCOM, so I didn't even need a spanner wrench.  I took the carry handle to Classic and they put the aperture on right then and there for free.

With that said, I do want to check out Slingpoint sometime.

The guys at Slingpoint have always been nice to me.  Several of our students have bought G19s there and everyone seems to have been happy with their experiance.
