Just come back from local welder shop. My M14 scared the sh!t out of the guy. He keeps saying:" What if you shoot somebody with the gun?"

I told him I don't need the front band welded to shoot the gun.....

Anyhow, have to walk out before the guy faint.

So anybody knows any firearm friendly welder in Mississauga, ON? Just to weld M14 from band - 10 min job.

Thanks,

Michael
 
Any business that does any work on any firearm is required to have a firearms business licence and any employee handling firearms must have a PAL. Limits your options to say the least. You need to take it to a smithy.
 
The only part of the firearm that they need the certs for is the receiver. I may be out of date.

Only really matters if you are leaving it with them, unattended. If you are there watching the work, there should be no issues.

If you don't have to take the whole rifle in to the shop, though, so much the better.

Check around any bike (motor, or bicycle) shop that has guys in it that have dirty hands, rather than just a bunch of flashy high priced "branded" fashion accessories, and ask them who they deal with for small welding jobs.

I have had decent luck with that sort of work, at welding shops that have a Harley or two parked in the lot. Provided that the bikes look like they are not simply fashion accessories, anyways.

If the reaction was not so pathetic, I'd think it was funnier.

Faaaaarrrk!

Brainwashed sheeple. Yech.

Sorry. Can't help with the welding shop.

Good luck!

Take of the part or parts you need welded. Take those to any shop, don't tell them it's for a gun.

Problem is its best to leave em on the gun or they will distort from the heat.

I would do it for you but it would not be cost effective for you. (Im in Kitchener)
Your best be is to try the smaller shops, theres lots out there. Most in my experience are run buy guys with balls that wont run from a piece of pipe and some casting bits. Hell its only a piece of steel. Its not like there isnt s*th loads of it laying around their shops and there alot more dangerous things in their shops. If you can't find anything shoot me a PM.

***P.S make sure you get them to preheat (not too much, just enough to make the metal look "clean and dry")
All the ones that I have done for friends, I have used stainless filler for the welds. There all still holding together, no cracks either after hundreds of rounds.

Forgot to mention always always TIG em. You don't have to do stress relieving after. As long as you preheat to around 300F or so and cool gradually after welding you will be good. Stress relieving may/will increase the chances of distortion and the gas cylinder may not fit on the barrel afterwards.(There may be some experience speaking here:rolleyes: not mine of course)
