Gunsmith to make AR barrel

[Thumper580]

I have a Kreiger 224 MTU profile barrel blank.
Anyone recommend a good gunsmith or company that can turn it into an AR15 20" barrel? Install the barrel extension, gas port, etc. Thanks in advance.

That would be a huge amount of precision work to turn it down ( everywhere) locate the pin /extension/gas port. It would be cheaper and most likely more successful to sell the MTU and buy an AR barrel.

Isn't that how AR barrels are made in the first place? From a barrel blank?

Give Paul Ross a call or text, just tell him I sent you and he'll do you a solid deal.

If you're not familiar with Paul Ross he was the Head Barrel Smith at Compass Lake, he worked there for over 20 years.

If you've ever read any of my Reviews or Range Reports, Paul has made just about every Custom Barrel that I've shown on the Hide.

Paul Ross and Paul Craddock are the only two people I allow to turn my barrels.

Craddock does great work as well, but the OP will be waiting for months. Paul Ross is pretty open at the moment.

You won’t be disappointed. He does all my AR barrels.
