It would be well worth finding out if anyone out there can/will do this particular job (and do it well).. I might need the reference some day.. In the meantime, very best of luck...

I have rebarelled ~ 25 of my rifles, but they were all bolt action. I have made gas regulators for my BARs. I now think I am better off buying a regulator with a smaller hole and boring it out.
