    Default Salem Area AR15 smith

    Unfortunately Ole's Gun Shop is closed until 10/15... I need a barrel installed asap. I would like to shoot it this weekend. I've heard of Todd Koonce but having a hard time finding contact info. Any suggestions are appreciated

    Thanks in Advance

    I believe Guncrafters has an on-site gunsmith.

    They have a 2 wk or longer wait and the all time highest prices not to mention the worst staff I have ever experienced at a gun shop. I'll try Todd

    Do it yourself AR15's are like Lego's.

    dont have my multi tool, reciever blocks or any tools to work on my AR anymore. Planned on getting out of it at one point. a year later hear I am...

    Anyhow, I found CNS firearms in Albany to be super nice people willing to help me out.

    Give Sully at Blackwater Tactical a shout. I know he was setting up a smith shop but I’m not sure if he has it up and running yet. They are at 12th and Cross in Salem.

    Also try Mick at MLC on 25th behind Kmart, he doesn’t have an in-house smith anymore but he can point you in the right direction.

    You are right about Guncrafters, don’t go there. You may as well bring to me, I have a vise and hammer and I won’t treat you like crap.
