I'm Not in the Snohomish area, but I would imagine you'd want someone that can TIG weld; TIG welding gives you a lot more control over what is being welded, assuming a rheostatic pedal is being used. Just my two cents.

I've done them both, mig, tig. I go back to using the mig. Ive built several of them. And 4 more to go.
Set your barel headspace before you weld it. So much easier. Take your bolt, triger housing, and gas tube at this time also. You need to weld the lower shelf also. It takes about 2 hours to fit, and weld the parts in place. If you just weld it, the bolt might not drop, through the reciever. There it a bit to the job.

This is a barreled trunnion into a PTR receiver if that makes any difference

Has the head space been set? The trunion will be pined. Is the receiver bent/ welded? Or you running a 80%?

Naw, it's a serialized PTR receiver, complete. the trunnion is pinned.

Thats easy, weld, and align the gas tube, and weld. If you make it down to Portland, I will weld it for you.

Gonna hijack this thread.

Need a welder to weld and bolt a hitch to my van. The caveat it that the hitch will need to be cut to be custom fitted to my van's frame. Anyone in the Pierce and surrounding counties have this skill? Thanks.
