Hey Kurt,

I would like to send you my M17s upper for a few mods but I have a few questions I would like to ask first. I would like the following...

1.) Remove carry handle and install long (H/L) KKF 'P' rail-$95

2) Supply and install underrail-$55

3.) 'Longhorn' T Charging handle-$40

4.) Cheekpiece-$40

5.) Add lightening/cooling slots to upper receiver-$75

-Square type not diagonal.

6.) Front Siderails (R/L)-$35/ea

That looks like $375 so far but I would also like the following that is not listed in the prices.

1.) A2 tac brake

2.) re-tap the bolt hole on the barrel assembly where it bolts to the upper reciever, a new bolt can be sent with the upper if you prefer.

3.) repaint in Black

How much would this additionally cost?

Thanks!

-Dave

"1.) A2 tac brake"-$45
"2.) re-tap the bolt hole on the barrel assembly where it bolts to the upper reciever, a new bolt can be sent with the upper if you prefer." Is it stripped? $35-$50 if so.
"3.) repaint in Black"-N/C with slotting.

Thx!

Yes it is partially stripped, I can screw in the bolt most of the way but a thicker washer is required to tighten.

A few more questions I just thought of...

1.) With the lower rail installed, do you remove the sling swivel if you do not shorten the upper reciever?

2.) Can I have a specific amount of the barrel cut, crowned, and rethreaded? If so, s 1.5" a suitable cut?

3.)Do you have any idea about how much weight is reduced with the square ventalation slots cut in an upper reciever?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Hey Kurt,

I've decided on the modifications I would like on my M17s and I thought I would go over it one last time and find out how to go about this transaction.

First off, the mods...

1.) Cut, crown, and rethread muzzle (1 1/2" cut) - $45

2.) Add lightening/cooling slots to upper receiver - $75

3.) Remove carry handle and install long (H/L) KKF 'P' rail - $95

4.) Supply and install underrail - $55

5.) Front Siderails (R/L) $35/ea - $70

6.) 'Longhorn' T Charging handle - $40

7.) Install KKF A3 TacBrake - $50

8.) Re-tap the bolt hole on the barrel assembly where it bolts to the upper reciever $35-$50

This should come to a total of $480 + shipping correct?

Also, I am currently deployed overseas but I should be able to have my father disassemble the weapon and send you the upper reciever and the required barrel retaining screw and its washers. Can I pay you with a debit/credit card, have my father ship you the parts, and work the order form and transaction electronically?

Thanks for all your help,

-Dave
