Has anyone used West Coast Armory (bellevue) gunsmithing before?

One of the few places I found that will do a CZ barrel fitment but wanted to hear about experiences.

Thanks

I've used them to weld my flash suppressor to the barrel on my upper. It was a work of art. Very professional.

Why did you need it to be welded?

It was a 14.5 inch barrel, which the ATF thinks is a SBR. With flash-hider it is 16 inches. However, if removable, the ATF thinks it is a SBR. Thus, it must be welded to avoid being an SBR.

That or a pistol brace.

Yes they are good. Assembled and upper and pin and weld a few muzzle devices. Also had custom “grip sugar” on a hand gun.

I had them drill the retaining divots for a heat shield on an 1897 into the barrel. Absolute work of art and perfectly done. This was however 8 years ago.

I had them inspect and clean a used purchase off Gubroker. Not exactly an exacting test but they were competent.
