Does this guy pin/weld muzzle devices?

Wayne is very good at what he does and I don't see why he can't weld up the brake.  Best thing is to talk to him though as I'm unsure as to his work load................and yes his shop is teeny tiny, but his work is outstanding.

Send it to Rainier arms. $55 + shipping, 5 to 7 day turn around and highly recommended on the west coast. Wayne is way over priced, he wants $150 to cut and thread on a stripped barrel, more if he has to do the stripping and a two month wait, that's a little ridiculous .  Marvin PITTS wants $75 for this work and he's a F**kin master. (former KAC Gunsmith) and Ken Elmore (also a badass and considered the colt master) only wants $95.  These dudes do this shit day in and day out.

I can see what you mean, but after having met him (Wayne) in person when I stopped by his little shop it's him and him alone running things.  So sure he may have come across as disorganized in your experience but maybe he's so good at what he does he just doesn't have the "Customer Service" or "Salesman" mentality.  The work he has done for me in the past, well there's no complaints from my end to include the abundance of people who vouch for him and stand by his craft.  In my eyes his work speaks for himself. 

Sure maybe the prices can come down a bit, but from what I learned this is what he does after hours from his fulltime job.  Heck I was able to drop stuff off at his shop today (Sunday) as he was working there. He quoted me 2 months as well but there's a possibility it'll be done before that. 

Either way an ideal situation here would be for the ultimate Gun Shop/Gun Smith combo on island.  I know OGC has referred work to Wayne, hence why I learned about him but anyways that's just wishful thinking.

And a week and a half later he is finished with my barrel and action.

He went big time.  Only manufacturing and selling now. No time for us Hawaiians.
