metallichg Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have a registered select fire colt m16a1 lower. My gun blew up, I assume either from a squib, or a 300 blackout somehow got in my mag. The upper left side of my magwell is bent outward slightly. Nothing is cracked, pins all line up, lower functions fine. I need to find an expert that has done this before to try to straighten out my mag well. What are your suggestions? Thanjs very much, joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born loser...in Montana Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Would love to see a picture. So, what was it? Should be easy to tell by the spent brass? As we get older we tend to get usta a few bulges here and there, a little bent ...no worries , as long as no cracks appear. If it ain't broke ( still shoots ) Don't fix it.

Ryo Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Maybe try this guy. Heard that he was suppose to have been recommended after M60 Joe stopped. I have no relationship to them, nor have I ever used their service. https://www.garysbunker.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac1 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I recommend you contact John Andrewski. The guy is amazing! I sent him my M16A1 GM Hydra-Matic re-weld that was so poorly put together a standard upper would not fit. The fonts were also poorly done and the welds were horrific. Cut to the chase; came out beautiful and looks like it came directly from the factory. Yes you would need to X-ray to verify it is a re-weld. If he can do that to my rifle, assume he would have no issues fixing yours. http://stingray-andrewsk-primary.hgsitebuilder.com/john-andrewski-gunsmith---information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
