Recommendation for a NE gunsmith to perm attach a muzzle brake?

I second Gun and Machine in Omaha.  He has always done excellent work for me.

Not quite ready to go the SBR route yet- although the pull getting stronger. When I do it will be shorter then 14.5" though! Maybe a 12.5"...with a suppressor! Need to save some more pennies first. I have a lightweight 14.5" (with perm f/h) upper that I really like- so am building up another- once BCM gets them back in stock.

Thank you for the recommendation- I have never heard of 'Gun & Machine' before, although I've probably driven by it a dozen times.

I guess I had never considered having a 14.5" barrel so you can be right at 16" with a flash hider. My AR doesn't have a flash hider, so I forget others do.

Gun and Machine does pretty good work. He threaded a Ruger Mark II for a suppressor for me.

I seem to remember reading that the ATF no longer considers pinned flash hiders to be a permanent extension, so they don't count toward the 16" minimum.  I don't know if that's true, but silver soldering the flash hider on is also an acceptable method, and it can be done at home with a MAPP gas torch.
