Great work from Huey Gunner, as usual.
Unitized a few gas cylinders, NM trigger groups and refinished an op rod Some FAL work on the trigger, too.
Everything looks great!

Jeff did the flash hider, gas cylinder and rebuilt the trigger. This is a new S.A. rifle and maybe I expected more. But after Jeff got done, it is a pleasure to shoot, and groups are better thanks to a trigger with positive take up and a clean break. Well done Jeff. I'm proud of your work, come work with the Marine armors any time. Steve

Jeff did a NM trigger job, replaced and refinished parts, reamed and refinished the flash hider, and rebuilt the rear sight on my M1A. Communication throughout the process was perfect, and the received parts were also perfect. Jeff's attention to detail and quality of work, whether in the trigger job, parts refinishing, shipping packaging, or instructions, are all evidence that he treats the work for his customers as if he is doing it for his own rifle, which is the highest praise I can give. I highly recommend his work.

Outstanding work from Jeff.
Communication was easy and clear, turnaround time was more than reasonable.
NM spec/refinished 2 flash hiders, 2 trigger groups, refinished SAK op rod, LRB reclaimed bolt, old NM Springfield Armory (Geneseo) barrel, Unitized 2 gas cylinders and repaired off-center front band from previous amateur attempt plus a few castle nuts and some white lettering on select parts.
Everything looks brand new!

Jeff did an amazing job on my SA Gas Cylinder. It came out great and will be using his services in the future. He emailed me back and kept in touch the whole time. Great quality work and professional communication.

Jeff has done a couple jobs for me over the years; reparkerizing work and modifying flash suppressors to NM specs. He most recently completed a couple NM gas cylinder modifications. His work is always exceptional and I highly recommend him.

Just had Jeff refinish a few 1903 Springfields parts. They turned out fantastic! This is my third time having Jeff refinish parts and they always turn out great. You will not be disappointed with his quality.
John, NE

My experience with Jeff could not have been better. Communication was clear, concise, and professional. It is clear to me that he takes pride in his work and wants to make sure that his customers are 100% satisfied. I very seldom post reviews as I can sometimes be a bit critical, however this level of quality and service should be recognized. Would I recommend HueyGunner’s Gunsmithing? Absolutely!

Good service! Jeff performed his NM ream on a couple of flash hiders for me. He had a quick turnaround, the work looks great, and he threw in a couple of flash suppressor nuts and screws and screws at no charge. Thank you Jeff!

I just arrived home from the range and can definitely say that I am both impressed and extremely pleased with the trigger work. The trigger is much crisper and predictable than the original. This has actually helped me to identify some underlying bad shooting habits of mine that the original trigger was masking. Most notable was my incorrect breathing followed by sloppy sight alignment. I was able to focus on these since I could see the results in my grouping pattern. As my session proceeded I worked on breathing and sight alignment and measurably tightened my group. In previous range sessions, the old trigger only added to the variation and randomness and I could only guess why I was shooting "shotgun pattern" groups.
You do great work and are a wealth of knowledge! I'll be sending you my M1 Garand trigger group some time in June.
K.C., MI

Jeff did a fantastic job with my trigger and was very communicative throughout the process. Return shipping/packaging was exceptional, and the look/feel of the trigger is perfect - nice and crisp.
Would highly recommend if you are looking for a NM trigger job.

Second set of M1 gas cylinder assembly and rear butt plate restoration looks as great as the first. Impeccable work with amazing results. Communication was great with updates on work to be done and notice of shipping. Turnaround time is very quick. My like-new parts were sealed in bags with protective oils. Couldn't be happier with Jeff's work.

Just received a unitized gas cylinder (screw & glue), this past Saturday, and it looks A-1. Even though I won't be installing it for a while, I'm totally confident that the fit, and function, will be flawless. Excellent person to do business with.
Gary8907, OH
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I sent Jeff a SAI complete gas cylinder assembly to unitize and refinish. It took less than two weeks from the day I took it off the rifle until I put it back on. The finished product looks and fits great. He kept me informed of the progress every step of the way. His reputation is very well deserved. If you need any work done on your rifle Jeff is definitely the person to talk to. I will be using his services again. Thanks Jeff!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I have read all about Jeff's work for a while and never heard a bad word, he tuned my trigger assembly perfectly, converted my gas cylinder, but he turned a well used flash hider into something that resembles something right out of the factory tube. And the number one thing that grabbed my attention was the packaging of the items he returned, it was done with as much pride and attention as he puts into his work.
Jim Sk, ME

Outstanding work. Very pleased with Jeff's work and sending him a M14 TG for upgrades too. Great comms and fast service. I will recommend his services.

Shout Out to Jeff!
Got my flash suppressor back from Jeff a short while ago and just wanted to say thanks to Jeff for turning a "sow's ear into a silk purse"! My M14 USGI flash suppressor was in really bad shape, but Jeff restored it to "National Match" perfection. Beautiful job on NM conversion and the refinishing is great. On top of that, Jeff returned the flash suppressor in a vacuum sealed bag! Excellent service! Thanks Jeff!
Best regards,
Bobby, FL

Had Jeff refinish my BM59 folding stock that was well worn and had some surface rust. Stock came back looking like new. This wasn't my fist experience with Jeff's services, he's also reamed a M14 flash suppressor to NM specs and refinish it for me. His work is also top notch, will definitely use his services again.
Jeff, TX
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just received another group of parts that were sent to Jeff for NM modifications and refinishing. Was very happy with the quality of workmanship of the earlier parts that I sent to Jeff and appreciated the explanations and details of the work that would be performed to bring the parts up to NM standards. I am new to the m14 world and have had a lot of questions. Jeff has been able to assist with my getting up to speed and has been one of the people that has been willing to help educate me on the nuances of m14.
Thanks again,
Todd "alpinacsi", GA

Jeff has reparked quite a few M-1 parts for me and his work is outstanding. You can't get any better mil-spec parkerizing. His turnaround time is good and shipping, first rate. I will be using his services again.

I just received my M14 trigger group but together for me by Jeff. Nothing but outstanding service, knowledge, and the best service/communication I have seen in a long time!
Kudos to Hueygunner's Gunsmithing for sure!
WILL be a repeat customer as this is going to another gunsmith to complete a Blackfeather build for me.
Thanks again Jeff!
JEFFJP_N_JJ, CA

Jeff has done it again! Another outstanding NM modification to an M14 part, this time to an old-beat up USGI flash hider. It looks as good as new, and should work even better than it did before.
Connor B., OR

Jeff,
The trigger group arrived late afternoon today. I wiped off the trigger and hammer hooks and put it back in the rifle. Man, what a difference. It was so darn gritty before, it was terrible, you could hardly feel the stages.. Now it’s very, very smooth and my perception is that it feels lighter. There’s now a very smooth first stage followed by the wall of the second stage…. Which breaks sharply with no creep. Amazing… you sir, are a maestro of the M14 trigger….Regards,
Mike, Wisconsin

The workmanship that was done to unitize my M14 gas cylinder is absolutely impeccable. I'll definitely be using Jeff's services again for additional M14 modifications.

Jeff refinished my M1 Garand Gas Cylinder and Lock in MIL-C-13924 Black Oxide, and it turned out beautiful. The finish looks exactly like original as issued military!
I highly recommend Jeff’s gun smithing services if you want a first quality job and good turnaround time!

Jeff has done several things for me, & I have always gotten a good price, & top notch professional work. This trip I had him modify the gas cylinder on my M1a, & purchased a flash hider. Everything looked brand new, & fit like a glove. The gas lock actually tightened up perfectly, which it did not before.
Jim, VA
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I didn't know Jeff did work on Mini 14 triggers until it came up in a conversation about my M1a. I liked my Mini, now I love it. Jeff did a heck of a job. Instead of taking an eternity from the start of the trigger pull, to firing, this thing has a short, smooth first stage, & a short, smooth second stage. It is soooo much easier to shoot with accuracy!
Jim, VA
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once again, Jeff has amazed me with his skill and expertise in making old worn parts look new again.
Thank you Jeff!

Once again Jeff hit a home run on the quality of his workmanship and parts. I could not be happier with my NM Modified M-14 Flash Hider.
Thank you for the quick turnaround!!

Jeff’s price quote was very competitive. The turn around time was much sooner than expected. Jeff is a wealth of information and a great guy/communicator. Having said all that, the foremost reason you should trust your rifle/parts with this master gunsmith is that the work is above and beyond. I can’t stop looking at the level and quality of work Jeff put into my Garands. No question that he is both knowledgeable and dedicated to his craft. I’ve never been impressed with previous gunsmiths. Jeff is on a completely different level. He truly is a master.
Dave B. CT
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I have a Springfield M1A I have had for about 3 years. I love the rifle, & use it for deer hunting. The trigger wasn't good at all, & after reading about Jeff, & his skills I went ahead & sent him my trigger ahead of deer season, so I could get it back in time to get used to shooting it. The difference is like night & day! Man, this thing is so smooth through the first stage, & very crisp on the second. I now have pretty much a new trigger, with superior parts, instead of the cheap junk originally in it.
The icing on the cake was talking to one hell of a nice guy, that explains what you have, & exactly what he does to make it a hell of a lot better. He will def be getting my gas cylinder next.
Jim, VA
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I sent Jeff two M1 Garand gas cylinders to refinish. Fast turn around with great communication. Parts came back looking like new, exceeding my expectations. If I need more parts refinished I know were to send them now. Thanks!
John, NE
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am a repeat customer of Jeffs. I keep coming back because I have yet to find anyone who can match Jeff's work. I have sent M-14 parts, M1 Garand parts and M1 carbine parts in for service, modification or refinishing. The results have always exceeded what I expected to receive back. I will not hesitate to use HueyGunner Gunsmithing again in the future.
collector21, AZ

Jeff is a master gunsmith extraordinaire. He refinished four M-14 gas cylinder assemblies complete and unitized two of them. His work is impeccable. He is also a fine gentleman. I will always have my work done by Jeff Shapiro.

Jeff thanks for the trigger work on my M-1 Garand very smooth and crisp trigger thanks for the fast turn-a-round time
Big Ed, KY
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sent Jeff a finish-worn gas cylinder that needed to be oxidized so it would look good and I would look like I knew how to care for my rifle. Jeff was great. I forgot to send in the lock and the front sight. Jeff called me and said to send them in because he takes pride in doing a job right. I did. Forgot to send in the stacking swivel. Another call from Jeff. Sent it in. A couple of days later, bam it was in my mailbox. Hard to believe it's the same cylinder!! Looks as good as the day it was issued. Fantastic work and now I know why Jeff is so highly recommended. Fast service, great communication with me, pride of workmanship. He's a craftsman. He's a former First Sergeant, among his many accomplishments, and I guarantee he had the best Company in the Battalion. That's what you can expect. Will definitely use Jeff again if needed.
John, NH

I have just received some Garand parts back to include Gas Cylinders, Gas Cylinder Locks, and Gas cylinder screws from Hueygunner’s Gunsmithing. To say that I am pleased is an understatement. The man is beyond meticulous! Not only in his refinishing but his packing for return as well. This is the second time he has restored parts for me and I’m just as blown away as I was the first time. If you need these hard to refinish parts done you will not regret using his services!

Jeff at HueyGunner did a great job on my Mini 14 trigger. It had a very stiff trigger pull from the factory. I discussed my issues with Jeff, and he said send it to me. He had it about a week and sent it back very quickly. I was amazed at the difference when I received the finished product. The trigger was smooth as glass!!! I highly recommend HueyGunner for any work you need done. I know I will be sending him work work. Thanks Jeff
Stephen P, KS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jeff delivered as promised! I sent him a mix of M1 Garand parts, steel and stainless to be refinished, I couldn't be happier with the results, they really look NOS. The return packaging was no match for the postal gorillas, the education on lubrication and barrel indexing is well appreciated. Next, my M1A's built on CMP parts kits don't look as good as I thought they did, the parts are going to be sent to Jeff.
And yes, I'm a picky bugger.

Had a gas cylinder and lock done and they look great. Mr. Shapiro (Hueygunner) did a fantastic job, great transaction. Highly recommended.

Aaron Burton, OK

Sent in my gas cylinder for screw-and-glue unitizing. Turnaround time was excellent, about 8 days from time of shipping to receiving it back. Used torx screws and the staking job on the screws was very good. Everything was greased and and shipped in good order. Good products and good service when dealing with Hueygunner. Thanks again Jeff. -Lloyd

Just had 2 more barrels installed by Jeff. Great workmanship. Jeff had installed a barrel for me earlier on an M1 I had hoped to sell. The rifle had such great groupings after Jeff installed the barrel I had to keep it.

I cannot thank Jeff enough for time, effort and attention to detail on the work he does. I sent Jeff a Winchester barrel for inspection, refinishing and recrowning. When I got it back the barrel looked brand new and could not be happier. Excellent work again. Thanks Jeff!

I sent in my M1A NM sights to have HueyGunner put together. HueyGunner found some of my sight parts were made in china and USGI. I was not sure that I would get a M1A NM sight set. I must say that HueyGunner did a miracle by putting together the best M1A NM sight set that I have ever used. Many thanks for best workmanship possible. Highly
recommended.
TSK, SD
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reached out to HueyGunner after seeing him recommended in a forum, great email response and guidance. Sent in a nearly in-the-white gasblock assembly from a CMP M1 Garand. HueyGunner gave great communication, and did an incredible job coating the entire assembly. Looks great, you can tell he really takes pride in his work. I've also never seen a better wrapped and packaged shipment. Price was reasonable, parts processed and sent back within 2 weeks. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely use his services again if ever required.

Jeff rebuilt a trigger group and sold me a complete gas cylinder. I appreciate quality work and Jeff has produced works of art. I can't wait to finish my build and try out these parts. Thanks Jeff
case42so, WA
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I've had several trigger groups and gas systems done by Jeff and his work is top-notch. The time he spends to ensure safe shipping and detailed instructions is also second to none. I highly recommend Jeff for his M14/M1 Garand work. I sent him a gas system that was well used and showed lots of wear. When I got it back, it looked like a brand new system. Excellent work Jeff! I will be sending more work your way soon.
Rey Garcia, CA
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is the fourth time I’ve had Jeff do work on my M14 parts, I’ve had Jeff build a unitized NM gas cylinder, rebuild and refinish rear sight elevation pinions and windage knobs, and rebuild and refinish hooded National Match rear sight apertures. This time I had Jeff refinish a M14 flapper buttplate assembly and the colors are perfect, just like USGI. I’ve written this before here and it bears repeating, it’s getting harder and harder to find people in the US that can professionally do these kinds of services and willing to do them on a small individual scale for a reasonable price, as a repeat customer I'm happy to endorse and recommend Jeff at HueyGunner's Gunsmiths for your gunsmithing needs.
Jay, CA
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finishing off a build and found I didn't have a very needed unitized gas cylinder assembly. Called Hueygunner and asked if he would do one for me. Sent the parts and received them back quickly. I've had Hueygunner do several gas assemblies, some repairs to NM sights, ream flash hiders to NM specs,, and I'm ALWAYS very happy with his work and turn around time. Jeff does GREAT work. Do not hesitate to use his services!!
Thanks much Jeff!!! As always, I'm very very happy!!!

I had a nice WCE elevation pinion in a batch of parts I purchased that had no spring action left in the knob. Jeff rebuilt the pinion by replacing the wave washer and dog washer, cleaned and lubed the pinion and sent it back at a very reasonable price. I'm very happy with his work and the very quick turn around time.

Jeff did a fantastic job unitizing my m14 gas system, via the screw and glue method. The entire gas system including piston was cleaned and parkerized. All the work was completed in a timely manner. I will not hesitate to get more work done from Jeff hueygunner again.
Thanks Jeff

My 1980's USGI contract NM sight on my Garand never worked properly and ultimately became unusable. Jeff rebuilt the sight and put it in proper working order. His knowledge base on these sights is beyond reproach. His communication is prompt as well as turnaround time. Many Thanks...

Thanks Jeff for the outstanding job you did on my M1 Garand Gas Cylinders. They look great and I'm very pleased and impressed. This is the second time I've used your service and would highly recommend your work to anyone. Without a doubt I will use you again when the need arises.

Hueygunner blacked three Garand gas cylinder assemblies for me. It took two weeks to blacken them and ship them back to me which is fast. Last spring CMP blacked two gas cylinders for me and it took three months to get them back. Upon return Hueygunner's work was excellent and the cost including shipping was less per GCA than what CMP charged. When I have more work to be done Hueygunner will be who does it for me.
Ron, KY

Jeff, thank you very much for the great refinishing work on my M1 op rod, trigger group and gas cylinder group. The parts look great. They will look really good on my build. If I have any parts that I need to have refinished in the future, you can certainly count on my business! Thanks again.

Excellent work and a very fast turn around. Helpful and thoughtful advice as well. Recommend Jeff without any reservations.

Painted Garand gas cylinder and lock. Need I say more? Who does that?
Now these parts defy proper finishing by most gunsmiths and home enthusiasts because of their stainless steel composition so I suppose desperation = epoxy paint.
Researching on-line I found Jeff at Huey Gunner who saved the day and returned my painted abomination to USGI specs.
To all those lost souls out there with painted parts, you know who you are, you know you hate the paint, you know it just ain't right! Send them to Jeff and he'll have them looking and fitting correctly again.
There aren't many folks out there still able to do this so act now or forsake all hope!

I sent my NM M1A gas cylinder to Jeff S. to fix a broken valve screw. My NM M1A gas cylinder was an improper welded and screwed unitized gas cylinder. I do not know why, but it was done that way! When I received it back from Jeff, it was completely redone, the welds were removed from the cylinder body, a new band was installed and correctly screwed and glued together with a new valve screw. Jeff cleaned the gas plug, inspected and cleaned the bore, chased the threads of the gas plug and cylinder, checked and polished the piston and checked bore for proper fit/clearance. In the end, the NM gas cylinder assembly looked brand spanking new and properly unitized. Jeff is very knowledgeable and has good attention to detail. He does excellent quality work and he is the expert in making a NM gas cylinder assembly. All said and done, it was well worth the price. Thanks you, Jeff!
Curt H, PA
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am doing some accuracy improvements to my Springfield M1A (glass bedding and unitization of the gas cylinder). I sent my gas cylinder to Jeff for the screw & glue unitizing method. When I received it, it was more than I had expected. Jeff cleaned the gas plug, inspected and cleaned the bore, chased the threads of the gas plug and cylinder, checked the piston and bore for proper fit/clearance; he also replaced the front band. He annealed the gas valve and returned it to new condition via the screw and glue method. My groups shrank from 3 3/4 to 1 5/8 inches with a scope. Although it can't be determined how much this mod contributed to the shrinking of the group size, I'm pretty sure it was considerable since the gas assembly is a critical accuracy point. All said and done, it was well worth the price. Thanks Jeff

I had an M14 flash suppressor reamed to national match specifications. Jeff answered all my questions quickly, the work was satisfactory as well as quickly finished, and he took good precautions to ensure that the package didn't get torn up by the mail handling machines. I recommend his services.

Jeff worked on 3 Garand sight pinions. All fixed and running right. I'm very happy with his prompt work and fair pricing. I will use him again.

I have used just about every service that Jeff offers for M1a/M14 style rifles. He just completed installing a National Match ferrule on my USGI National Match stock. Not only was his workmanship impeccable, as usual, but to finish the job to HIS high standards, he installed a NM front sling loop with bedded nut plates and button head hex drive screws. He noticed that the stock was drying out, so he sealed the stock for me. All at no additional charge. I purchased this stock approximately 30 years ago from Fred's, So needlessly to say it is highly valued by me. This stock now looks as though it was just issued by Springfield Armory, in fact it looks better!
I have been using various gunsmiths for over 50 years, some of whom are very well known. But, I can honestly say that none of them are as committed, professional, or have the same dedication as Jeff.
BTW: He is also one heck of a nice guy, and a gentleman.
Thanks for everything Jeff,

M1 Garand gas cylinder assembly blasted and refinished with black oxide finish per military specs. I sent complete unit and Jeff finished all parts with the same process resulting in a perfect match. Fast turnaround time. Very professional work.
Thank you

The work looks great! Jeff was very up front about what work was going to be performed and why (perfect for a beginner M14 collector like me) and the work took far less time than imagined! Final work was very well polished and put together. I'm very happy with this trigger group!

Had HueyGunner unitize and re-finish an old style gas cylinder assembly for me. I couldn't ask for a better job. Once it's installed, it will look like it has never been touched or previously installed. Oil preserved and vacuum sealed taboot. Fast turn around. You won't go wrong in your dealings with Jeff.

Needed some re-park work and picked up Jeff's posting in the service section of the "GCA Journal". Jeff was great to work with. Excellent work and fast turn around. I will definitely go back to him when I need some finishing work.

Jeff does exceptional work to make these parts function and look new again. I recently sent him some USGI M14 rear sight parts to be rebuilt and refinished (R&R), this is the third time I've used him for R&R work on USGI M14 parts and I'm a happy and satisfied customer. I'm including some pictures of a USGI National Match hooded aperture that Jeff completely rebuilt with new springs, detents and clip, I also had him refinish the TRW sight base, spring cover and aperture pictured here, note that both the elevation pinion and the windage knob are NOS USGI and their original Parkerized finish matches perfectly in color with the rest of the assembly that Jeff re-Parkerized. It's getting harder and harder to find people in the US that can professionally do these kinds of services and willing to do them on a small individual scale for a reasonable price, as a repeat customer I'm happy to endorse and recommend Jeff at HueyGunner's Gunsmiths for your gunsmithing needs.

Once again I found I needed Hueygunner's services to do his NM magic on a flash hider BUT with a special request. Once again work was done very quickly, 1 week including shipping both ways. Flash hider came out beautiful and my request met to the "T". I highly recommend Jeff to all. Thanks again.

So a couple of years ago I go and pick up 2 New Haven Clock M14 elevation/pinion assemblies for a real good price. They had already been refinished by ???. The down side is that the "dog" washers were in the white. I lived with them for a while, but they really stuck out like sore thumbs... What to do??? Heck, give Jeff at HueyGunner Gunsmithing a call. He's local. Sent him the assemblies, he removed the dog washers with the special tools needed to do the job RIGHT, reassembled with parked washers. Sent them back and they look AWESOME as I have come to expect from HueyGunner. Jeff does great work, is a huge asset to the M14 community. I have used him in the past and will continue to in the future. Oh, BTW, turn around time was 1 week, includes shipping both ways. Thanks again HueyGunner, I'm once again a very happy camper.

I had received a USGI rear sight that needed to be repaired and reparked. I have heard lots of positive feedback about Mr. Shapiro`s work and decided to send my rear sight in for his services. Patiently waiting I received my rear sight and the repair/reparkinging where as expected. The rear sight now looks brand new and runs very smooth. He also gave me a envelope full of information about an overview of the work he did, what parts he recommended me to replace because of wear and instructions on how to install the rear sight properly. Mr. Shapiro`s services are topnotch and I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

My second time having a gas cylinder unitized and trigger group reworked. This time I used USGI parts that I received from a CMP parts kit. Jeff took half a century old American steel and restored it to new. Service and communication were great as always. HueyGunner should be first on your list for M14 gun smithing!

Very nice NM flash suppressors. Jeff does great work. I know I am getting quality work and parts. I will be back. Thanks,

I just received my second SEI M14 gas cylinder modified by Jeff to National Match specs, via the screw and glue method. Again, the same outstanding meticulous job with attention to the smallest detail: I am fascinated by the way the gas cylinder itself is perfectly centered in the front band and the spindle valve screws are absolutely f-l-u-s-h with the back of the front band. Maybe, Jeff would do very well in the jeweler's trade ... !
I don't know how many gunsmiths are left - if any - in the U.S. able and willing to do that very same job with as much craftsmanship and in such a short turnaround time (three days in my case).
Conclusion: For those interested, Jeff is at the top of his skills right now and NOW is the time to use his services. We are lucky to have him ; at least, I consider myself lucky !

I sent Jeff the trigger assembly from a SA Scout Squad I had recently purchased. I chose Jeff because I have never read a negative review of his work. I was immediately impressed with his quick response to my inquiry, and clear communication regarding the trigger work he would perform. Jeff replaced most of the cheap, soft Chinese parts in my old trigger assembly with USGI parts and polished the contact surfaces on the trigger and sear. The work was done in a timely fashion and returned to me along with two vials of lube for future use. My rebuilt trigger is much smoother than the original, and much more predictable. I can't say it breaks like a glass rod, but more like it is riding on a roller bearing. The safely also is much easier to move to the fire position. There are people that will do this kind of work for a cheaper price, but I didn't want my trigger worked on by a guy with a file and belt sander. It may work for awhile, but you will likely find your rifle doubling in a short time as the parts wear down. If you want professional quality work done on your M1A, I highly recommend Jeff Shapiro at HueyGunner. You will not be disappointed.

I wanted Jeff to unitize my SEI gas cylinder and ream my old T44E4 flash hider mainly due to all the positive remarks I read from m14forum. Seems to be really respected from all I have read. I got my parts back in about a week and I was more than pleased at what Jeff accomplished with my parts. So very glad I used the right guy. Be prepared to spend some time removing your items from his packaging...USPS truck could run over it and you would never know.

Recently sent a nice M3 Bayonet and M8 Scabbard for restoration. Jeff and his team did an excellent job, turned out much better than expected. Also sent some M1 Carbine parts for technical inspection and repark, they turned out awesome as well. I'm up to three M14 gas cylinders and two trigger assemblies getting the Nation Match treatment, all have exceeded my expections. Turn around is always excellent. Thanks again Jeff

Some years ago, I sent a SEI M14 Gas Cylinder to Mr Shapiro to have it modified to National Match specifications via the screw and glue method (the M80 Heat Treatment on SEI Gas Cylinders is supposed to be almost impenetrable). The only Canadian gunsmith who knew how to do the job would not even dare to drill the Cylinder! Jeff did it in no time and without the faintest shadow of an hesitation.
And what a job! Everything was done exactly as advertised and the workmanship is truly outstanding - the staking of the Blackened Stainless Steel Screws is a sight to behold. M-E-T-I-C-U-L-O-U-S is the word to use to describe that kind of work, which as far as I am concerned, is rather the work of a virtuoso !
Right now, I am getting ready to send another SEI M14 Gas Cylinder to have it modified too - by the Master himself.

Jeff does the best work on the M14 Gas Cylinder NM modification. In my nearly forty years as a National Match gunsmith, I have seen just about everybody's work on those modifications, and his is at the top. Excellent work on opening the Flash Suppressors also. I have partially retired from gunsmithing M14s, so I don't do this type of modifications anymore, and I don't care for the welded commercial cylinders. I have come to rely on Jeff's quality of work on Gas Cylinders as a part of my Match M14 builds. June, 2016.
Charlie Maloney Gunsmithing, MD
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jeff has performed the following modifications for me: 1) NM gas cylinder using the "screwed and glued" method,and re-blackened, and parkerized it.2) Flash Hider, reamed and modified, and parkerized. 3) rebuilt my NM rear sight. 4) Front Ferrule modified to NM standard. 5) Firing Mechanism, modified to AMTU standards and parkerized.6) Bolt, rebuilt and parkerized.
ALL of the above work far exceeded my expectations. Jeff's workmanship is OUTSTANDING in every regard.I could not have obtained better workmanship elsewhere.It is not only the quality of his work that I hold in high regard, I also have the same opinion for the man himself. He is as honest as they come, friendly, and a credit to our country. A lot of people may know that he is a Vet (retired master sgt) but probably do not know that he volunteers as a driver for the DAV, to get disabled vets to their doctors.
One last item. Not only does he preform the work contracted for, he went the extra mile to include instructions on how to properly install the rear sight, and overall instructions on how to care for the parts and the rifle overall. By the Way, he also included 4 containers of grease for the rifle.
I feel that in finding Jeff, to do the above work, I not only found a fantastic gunsmith, I also found someone that I would like to call a new friend.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I had several small Garand parts that were in spec, but very rough cosmetically. These included gas cylinders, lock screws, lower bands and trigger guards. HueyGunner's (Jeff) expertly cleaned and prepped the surfaces, chased buggered threads, and gave everything a mil-spec coating. I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Throughout the process, Jeff was a consummate professional. Communication was outstanding, turn time was fast, and the pricing very fair. In short, I'd highly recommend HueyGunner's and wouldn't hesitate to send Jeff more jobs in the future.

Once again you did it Jeff,you fixed a mess that I made out of a M1A trigger group.The sad thing is that you fixed it once before and a want a- b gunsmith just trashed it by re-parkerizing the trigger group.What a mess he made of it.Thank you for fixing the trigger group for me.I will never let anyone touch it again.
The turn around time was one week.Wow,no one does that but Jeff.
Semper Fi my friend,

Jeff reparked and replaced the bolt rollers on my two used bolts. When I received them, They looked like NOS bolts. The parkerization is spot on! Do not hesitate to have Jeff take care of you! I have to give him an A+++ on packing it up for shipping. Took me 15 minutes to unwrap everything! Thanks again Jeff!

I just received my complete Unitized USGI gas cylinder from Jeff. It is amazing! Jeff was very easy to work with and was very receptive and with all of my questions. I feel very good about my purchase from him and will be sending him a trigger group for tuning. He is a Vietnam veteran, so for us Vets, we know it will be money well spent. Jeff is a stand up guy so IF any problems occur we KNOW he will make it right. Thank You

Sent my gas cylinder to Jeff to screw and glue. Got it back today and his work is outstanding. I couldn't be happier. The finish matched my rifle to a T and went together great. I'm going to send him my trigger to have him set to NM spec. His turn around time was very fast. You could tell by the way he packed my gas cylinder for the trip back that he took pride in his work. Thanks again Jeff

I sent Jeff my S-A M1A Scout trigger group to upgrade to NM standard & gas system to unitize and check tolerances. As supplied from S-A, trigger was gritty and pull was outrageously heavy. He highly polished the S-A USGI trigger group components to NM standard. Also found parts that needed replacing for optimum performance, and a couple that should never have passed inspection at S-A. Trigger pull is now a clean, crisp break at 5.4 lbs!Jeff did the Screw & Glue to the gas system, cleaned the bore and piston fit to the gas cylinder; then refinished everything. Jeff's attention to detail is world-class, even down the way he packages the contents for shipping. A gorilla could jump on the box and the contents would remain undamaged. His turn time cannot be beat. Jeff's kind of expertise and work ethic are both the 'gold standard'.
Thanks, Jeff, for a truly professional piece of work. I'll post pics soon.

After having my M1A trigger worked on by Jeff at Huey Gunner, I can finally write this review having shot a match and several practice sections. When I received the trigger group back I noticed that it was covered in WW2 era grease protecting the polished surfaces and lubricating the trigger. Jeff says to leave the grease on and to re apply it after shooting and cleaning for continued protection of the surfaces. During my first few dry firing practices with the trigger I found it to be absolutely silky smooth with no detectable creep in the second stage. The first stage take up had none of the gritty feel of the original trigger and came back to a very predictable wall that broke like glass. Jeff wrote in the instructions that the trigger weight was 5 pounds and smooth, it was.
Now if I could shoot as well as this trigger feels I could be High Master next week. But in all seriousness if you need trigger work done on a M1A/M14 platform you will not find a better person to do it that Jeff Shapiro an Huey Gunner's Gunsmithing.

Hello
I sent Jeff a NM windage screw without any internals, a gas cylinder assembly to be NM unitized and a flash suppressor to be NM modified. Jeff modified the gas cylinder with the glue and screw method, polished the gas piston, cleaned the bore and refinished the unit. He also modified the flash suppressor to NM spec and refinished all parts including the castle nut, set screw, and gas lock. He then installed internals in the NM windage knob and refinished the knob. Everything took about 10 days from the time I shipped until parts received back. The work was exceptional and displays his expertise. I am very well pleased and can absolutely recommend Hueygunner for any work you will require.

I sent Jeff a TRW strip bolt. The roller was just about to fall off, ask Jeff to fix it up. Got back a TRW bolt that is like new. The roller is new and not falling off, Jeff also finished the bolt and high lite the letters. Took a total of 9 days including the shipping; you can't ask for better service than that.

Took a chance on an old ad for an complete H&R M14 bolt. Hueygunner had sold it, but I was in luck as he was just finishing up on a new batch. Excellent communication, good prices, and a great finished product. Looks like it just left the H&R machine shop. Took ten days to from start to finish. Would do and recommend business with Jeff again. Thanks.

Ordered a NM FS for my M1A. Shipping was quick with no hassle. Box was secured well enough to resist a tank running over it, so no worries about bad handling by the USPS. FS was packaged and padded inside so that no damage would happen even if the USPS was able to damage the shipping container. Upon inspection of the NM FS I found it to be exceptional! Looks like a new one, only better! I can't overstate how well the shipping, service, and quality of this transaction was and I will be doing business here again.

I received my M14 gas system in the mail today, after Jeff performed the National Match modifications. To say that I am pleased, would be an understatement. The workmanship is outstanding, from the "screw and glue" modification, to the re-parkerizing. The packaging was incredible, there was no way the UPS could damage the contents. The turn around time on the job was also incredible. It was just as advertised.
Thanks, Jeff for a truly professional piece of work.

Another excellent job by Jeff. This time I had him rebuild some national match hooded apertures, a rear sight pinion and windage knob. The parts were rebuilt with the correct mil-spec parts and refinished good as new. Finding the correct parts to rebuild these items is getting harder and harder, finding the right smith with the correct tools to do the job is proving to be even harder, but Jeff came through again.

After extensive search for someone to do a trigger job on my M1A Scout, I went with HueyGunners Jeff Shapiro based on reviews from others. Well, I can say that his reputation as a fine Gunsmith seems to be well founded.
I sent in a SA original trigger which was apparently almost total Chinese garbage. Jeff stayed in correspondence with me the whole time and told me what was needed to be done with parts and prices to move forward for a quality trigger. He replaced much of the soft trigger parts with USGI, along with pins, springs and polished trigger group to NM for a smooth 5lb pull. I had prompt turn around time and the trigger looked great when I received it. Also as a nice touch, I received a detailed document of the work that took place along with some tips and a lubricant to keep it in top shape. My final test was shooting it at the range, where the accuracy improvement was immediately noticeable.
*Summer before, I had previously lapped the barrel with the Tubbs bullet system which helped out, but was still suffering with the old trigger. I was hopeful to shrink my group a bit with an improved trigger.
I only took a couple of pics, but did a lot more shooting that day using bipod with 147gr 1990's German Patrone rounds, which I think is a quality military surplus round. I was very happy how the trigger pull smoothly transitioned, it was like night and day. I highly recommend Jeff's professional work and I will definitely not hesitate to use him again.

Had Jeff rebuild a elevation pinion and windage knob for my T44E4 Carbine project. Man what a beautiful piece of work. Packaged in a vacuum sealed plastic bag, the parts certainly look like they just came out of the wrap. Jeff really sets the bar for rear sight work. He is meticulous and very reasonable. Heck he even spent the time to whiten in the markings on both pieces. Now I will have to re-park the rest of the rear sight pieces to have them look as nice. You can see pics of my parts on the customer's pics page here on his site.
Thanks a lot Jeff!

Awesome service! I had a M14 trigger group worked to AMU specs by Jeff and it turned out great, one of the best trigger jobs I've ever had done on a military trigger. I also had a M14 gas cylinder unitized and refinished by Jeff and it to was done to perfection. The turn around time was fast, I believe about 3-weeks, and Jeff's communication was timely and professional. All in all it was a smooth transaction and I liked it so much I sent Jeff some more business.

Jeff rebuilt a Mini-14GB inherited by my son from his Grandfather. The rifle had a shot out barrel and rough insides from firing thousands of rounds of early 70's GI ball ammo. Jeff installed an excellent used ( NY legal no muzzle devie) barrel that had been previously fitted to a rifle. Rather than set the barrel back and rechamber , Jeff adjusted the barrel shoulder so the barrel head spaced and timed perfectly. We added an accuracy strut, top rail and Bushmell TR-25 micro dot. Check the photos, this baby shoots! We were able to put three rounds into about 3/4" at 50 yds. My son a NYANG(Infantry) Vet plans to use the rifle in local NRA Practical Rifle matches. Grandpa would be proud. Thank you Jeff!

I contacted Jeff to inquire about getting a Winchester M14 bolt reparkerized to match a new M14 build. The bolt was pretty sad looking with a greenish grey color and the roller was also parked. What I got back was a better than new bolt that matched the rest of the parts perfectly. Nice, brand new shiny roller as well. I couldn't be happier. I can say without a doubt that if I have any additional M14 work to be done, I would certainly check with Jeff first. Thank you very much!

Jeff was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very patient with a newcomer to the M14 genre of rifles and super responsive. Service was excellent and Jeff's work is gorgeous! The trigger group looks amazing, and the feel of the pull is great. I can't wait to try it out on the range. If you are in the market for some work on your M1A/M14 trigger group look no further than hueygunner.

Jeff put together my 308 M-1 . Parts were GI and Jeff picked out a few that weren't serviceable , replaced them , parked everything and refinished the gas cylinder. He installed the CMP criterion barrel and cut the chamber . I own several M-1 s that were rebarreled by military trained armorers. The rifle Jeff did is the only one that shoots dead center with the rear sight centered, windage zero. Jeff said he timed the barrel dead on , and he was right. I only had time to put a clip down range on the first outing . Attached is my pic of the group. (The round to the left of the group was from an errant 223 )The vertical stringing is my old eyes and lack of practice. Clearly the rifle can out shoot the shooter . Load was 40. 5/ 4895/ 173 LC FMJ. In sure the rifle will do better with a refined load using a Sierra Match King. Jeff is an excellent machinist and gunsmith. More work will be going his way !!!!! Thank you Jeff .

Jeff did a fantastic job rebuilding the trigger group from my Springfield M1A standard. Before his trigger job, my average 5 shot group was 2.41" at 100 yards with a best group of 1.56"
After his trigger job, my average group dropped to 1.62" with a best of 0.95"!
Jeff's workmanship is outstanding and the results show it. I could not be happier.

I've been following Jeff's work on the various M-14/M-1A forums for some time now. In Jan, I contacted Jeff about completing the following work on my SA M-1A: unitize gas assembly (NM), polish gas piston (NM), modify trigger (NM), modify flash suppressor (NM), and polish main spring guide rod (NM by Sedlak). Over the course of two weeks, Jeff completed all of the work to spec and mailed it back (insured and tracked).
Not only is Jeff a wealth of knowledge, but one must see the finished product to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and time Jeff puts into his work. Some notes upon re-assembly:
- I had to do a little sanding on the hand guard for it to fit into the front band. Once assembled, the hand guard is very snug and is not touching the stock.
- The gas assembly went on without any drama and snugged right up to the stop on the barrel. Checked alignment of the gas hole and barrel with a 3/16" allen wrench. Gas lock snug at 5 o'clock, tightened and installed plug to spec.
- Followed Jeff's instructions on mounting the flash suppressor...used a rubber mallet to tap the suppressor down the splines as you tighten the nut. A flash suppressor wrench is a must to tighten up the nut and align with the set screw.
- Trigger pull to hammer drop is very smooth...no creep or heavy break.
Jeff also helped me identify the origin of the components on my rifle...with the exception of the SA receiver everything else is USGI to include the stock (w/ selector cut out).
I use a David Tubb main spring and had Tubb springs in the trigger assembly. The heavy trigger springs caused some abnormal wear inside the trigger assembly. Jeff replaced the Tubb springs with USGI springs. So, if you're thinking of changing the trigger springs to something other than USGI....don't.
And finally, the parkerized finish was an exact match to the barrel and butt plate assembly.
Would I recommend Huey Gunner again....absolutely!

I liked the work he did for me the first time around I had to come back for more! I had several conversations with Jeff in regards to the reproduction national match rear sights. When I finally got the pieces in from the supplier I could see why he had issues with them. I sent him the pieces and they came back NM modified, fitted and assembled. Along with all the work he had to do to make things right he sent along pages of information on proper assembly to the receiver, adjustments, lubrication and other notes he thought I might need. Oh and he sent several containers of lubri-plate to lube it. He shipped the assembly in his usual manner of packaging overkill, seal-a-mealed and bubble wrapped (not a bad thing). Jeff's work is outstanding and done with great care. I highly recommend him.

Work Jeff did on my M1A trigger,flash hider,and gas cylinder is excellent and I couldn't be more satisfied. His attention to detail and expertise show in finished product.I would definitely send Jeff parts again and highly recommend.

Jeff,
I could not be happier. The pictures say it all. You are a true craftsman who takes Old World pride in his work. The butt plate you refinished looks better than new. The screw and glue unitization you did is perfect. The refinishing you did on my plug weld unitization made the whole assembly look better than it ever has. The reaming and refinishing you did on the flash suppressor is perfect. Finally, the front band and other small parts also came out perfect. Anytime someone asks me who they should send their M-14 work to, you'll be at the top of my list for what you do. It's always refreshing to run into another perfectionist, especially one who takes as much obvious pride in his work as you do. Your communication and responsiveness are first rate. I will definitely keep you in mind for future projects and sing your praises to anyone who will listen. Thanks again.

After a referral on the CMP forums, I sent Jeff 2 national match hoods and the original aperture from my unlimited Garand match rifle to be brought up to original G.I. specs.He identified the out of spec hood and repaired it along with offering some other ideas for the second hood.Jeff provides top notch work along with many years of experience with the M1 and M14 type rifles.I couldn't be happier with the work he did for me. Thanks Jeff :).

Super Fast turn around of the gas cylinder that came on my IHC. As delivered from the CMP, it had zero finish and was very shinny. HueyGunner applied his USGI correct Black Oxide Finish and now it looks as good as the rest of the rifle. (Photos in the Gallery)

Jeff has now done 2 trigger jobs for me. Turned out great and they work as smooth as glass.
He has now done the 2 triggers and 2 NM rear sights. I couldn't be happier. All done nice and professionally and worth every penny,

I think Jeff does the best NM "screw & glue" conversions I've seen as well as NM flash supressor reaming. I have used his services before and will again. Thanks Jeff.

Once again Jeff did a great job on making Chicken salad out of chicken crap.The M1A trigger group I sent him was the worst I have seen coming out of Springfield Armory. Real Asian garbage. It now works the way a NM trigger should. I not only recommend Jeff to all the M14 enthusiast I know but he does almost all my gunsmithing on the M1A's,Thanks Jeff.

Jeff did excellent work rebuilding my GI NM rear sight. He went the extra step in locating a NOS GI aperture instead of replacing it with a commercial cast piece, or worse yet a, Chinese one.
The work was excellent, the communication very good, the turn-around more than reasonable and the follow-up exceeds expectations. Should I require any of the other services Jeff offers, I will not hesitate to call upon him again.

I had my gas system unitized and checked over for my M1a Loaded.
First thing; fast turnaround as promised and the workmanship is top shelf!
Second thing; via e-mail I got help getting rid of the shims and getting the timing perfect.
Third thing the function,
60 rounds, 2 bullets 168gr SMK's and 175gr SMK, 3 loads with IMR 4064 and IMR 4895 in LC 74 brass.
Perfect function clicking along like a fine firearm should.
Fourth thing the groups these are from random loads picked out of loading manuals;
175gr SMK, IMR 4064 groups average 1 and 1/2"
168gr SMK, IMR 4064 groups average 1 and 1/4"
168gr SMK, IMR 4895 groups average 1 and 1/8"
all at 100yd.
I can't stop smiling how well this turned out!
Thanks HueyGunner!

I sent my H & R M14 rear sight to Hueygunner to be redone. It was in marginal shape and I explained to Jeff what I as looking for. He was awesome to deal with and the price was a bargain to have it rebuilt, tuned, and refinished. I received my rear sight back with an incredibly fast turnaround time, and it functioned smooth and flawlessly, and the parkerized finish was perfect.
I highly recommend Hueygunner. I will be sending some gas cylinders to him for unitizing and some flash suppressors to him for the NM reaming and reparkerizing.
Hueygunner does an outstanding job with pride in his work and he treated me like a VIP, he was a great guy to work with, perfect transaction. Thanks, Jeff!

I sent Jeff some parts to be parkerized. He called me as soon as he got them to tell me about a small crack in a mac 10 bolt that I had never noticed. Finish looks great. Great customer service, great work, and fast turn around time.

Sent a parts kit in to get it refinished. Not only did HueyGunner do a great job on the parkerizing but he also dressed several dings in the flash hider and then vacuum sealed the parts so they wouldn't rust during return shipping. A+ service for sure!

Jeff did my gas cylinder and trigger group on my M1A scout.With his work and the new Kreiger 18 and 1/2 inch barrel ( 1 in 10 twist ) the weapon NOW shoots 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards all day long using M118LR ammo. The best group being .521 of an inch. ( iron sights off a by pod ) A year ago all it would do was maybe a 4 inch group at 100 yards no matter what ammo you used, it was frustrating. $1,800.00 junk! After a bed job, new barrel, and removing everything that was NOT USGI and replacing the Korean barrel and Chinese parts,the weapon started to come into acceptable performance. 2 inch groups. However I knew it could do better. After Jeff put a different GS on ( took the welded one off ) and worked the trigger, Now it shoots the way a Scout should. Don't believe all the crap that an 18 inch barrel can't shoot like a 22 inch barrel,with work and Jeffs knowledge, they can turn a head or two at the range.

I sent my gas cylinder, trigger group, and flash suppressor to Jeff to have them set to national match specifications.
Jeff's work was exceptional, his prices were fair and the turn around time was great, about two weeks. Jeff took better care of my parts than I did.
The most notable quality while dealing with Jeff was his knowledge of the M14 rifle. He knows it inside and out and is more than willing to share that knowledge with you.
He really wants you to have the best set-up possible.
Definitely the go to guy with anything M14/M1A.

I just received my flash suppressor from HueyGunner, who did the NM mod and re-park on it. The suppressor looks great and I could not be happier. He even removed some nicks from the face of the suppressor and others he blended into the surrounding metal.

I have a M1A Scout with a new 18 1/2 in. Kreiger 1 in 10 twist barrel on it. Unitzed gas cylinder and all the bells and whistles. It shot fare at best even with the M118 long rang ammo. I contacted Jeff and we went through all the possibilities. Come to find out the unitized gas cylinder ( welded type ) was warped during the welding process.I sent Jeff the original that came off the weapon,along with the piston,he did his thing with both and NOW it shoots like it is suppose to.About 1 inch groups at 100 yards. ( open sights ) He also had me take out the one shim I had in, that was totally not necessary. He took a lot of time on the phone and va:E-mail. Thank you Mr. Jeff.

I have done business with Jeff in the past and turned to him when I was looking to put together parts for a couple of new builds.
He came through for me with two beautifully redone bolt assemblies (one TRW, one HRT), chrome firing pins, as new internals. Rollers have been redone and the whole thing in a perfect park. Very reasonable prices considering the craziness of the current market. I recommend Jeff any chance I get on the forums. His work is top notch and he is a pleasure to deal with.

I asked Jeff to modify the flash hider to NM specs, a trigger job and a NM modification to the gas cylinder. I looked at several gunsmiths and Jeff stood out from the others by feedback, photos and his product descriptions. I was impressed by his statements regarding trigger work. I am a believer in fine tuning and polishing the mechanism as opposed to grinding done by others I have seen.
He kept me current on the progress of the work which was finished very quickly. Upon receipt of the over protected package and after I cut through all the packaging (not a bad thing) the quality of his work became apparent. The flash hider looked factory with no rough areas or grinding marks. The trigger feels smooth and the finish on all parts is terrific. The gas cylinder modification was clean and smooth. I had seen images of some of these that were poorly modified and Jeff's work is far superior. The pieces align nicely, the bends are smooth and consistent. Could not be more pleased with his work. Highly recommended.

Was a pleasure doing business with Jeff. Had a couple of M1 Garand gas cylinders that needed refinishing and HueyGunner came highly recommended. Now I can see why. Was easy to contact, provided a estimate of refinishing work and got the work done in record time. Return shipping was double boxed and well padded, parts were well oiled and sealed. Cylinders look as good as new. If you need parts refinished HueyGunner is the place to go. Once again Thanks! MSG(R) Tim Kreier 5th Special Forces Group

The new stock I purchased from Jeff for my M1A is exactly what I was looking for. Jeff made the modifications I asked for and I couldn't be happier. Jeff is defiantly my go to guy for any future work. And when I get around to buying a garand I will defiantly have Jeff tune that up as well.

Hueygunner converted a standard m14 flash hider to a NM one, and also reparked an old oprod for me. The parts had a very nice uniform finish and look great. The oprod, exceeded my expectations. Would do business with again for sure.

Jeff,
Thanks a million for your help. I looked high and low trying to find a USGI National Match windage knob and could find nothing but the Chinese junk and reproductions of all kinds. You had exactly what I needed and it works great.
I look forward to sending my trigger assembly in to you this summer for a "tune-up."
Thanks again.

I ordered a NM modified gas cylinder from Jeff (HueyGunner) based on several recommendations from experienced members on a well-known gun forum. I am more than pleased with Jeff’s workmanship. The gas cylinder is 100 percent GI, nicely finished, and the unitizing work is top notch. Jeff is awesome to talk with and goes out of his way to deliver a quality part. One cannot ask for much more. I will be placing another order this week! Thanks again.

Great job Jeff,the trigger group on the M1A scout is now all original USGI parts and has a smooth / crisp feel when firing the weapon.Finally I found a gunsmith worth his salt when it comes to service rifles. The turnaround was more than reasonable.Your willingness to stay connected throughout the process was greatly appreciated.

Hello Jeff, my overdue review of your work goes as follows... feel free to advise me to correct/add anything I may have overlooked.
If you've spent time on the M14 Forum you have probably heard about Jeff, aka Huey Gunner, and his solid reputation as an excellent M14 Gunsmith.
I recently damaged the components of my NM2/A Rear Sight attempting to dis-assemble my Rear Sight from my receiver. I had burred the Slotted/split-nut. plus the Windage Knob no-longer engaged the receiver notches, thus the knob was free-turning, without snapping into receiver detents. The nut assembly itself is not that easy to come by in my location, nor do I have the skills to replace it.
Having read so many positive recommendations pointing to Jeff, I knew he could be trusted to make the repairs, I contacted Jeff, and he was very responsive to my back-and-forth emails, and the many Q's asked, therefore I sent my RSB, and Elev. knob to Jeff for repairs.
Jeff obviously possesses a set of prints for the M14, because he's intimately familiar with RSB components and their dimensions. He advised the ears on my Windage knob had been taken-down/or modified (although purchased as new), it was also of Chinese in origin, despite having been made by a very reputable mfr.
Jeff ended up replacing the damaged cam-lock split-nut. He also cleaned-up or redefined notches on my windage knob to enable the knob to function properly, and it does now snap into the receiver detents, where before it would not.
I received the repaired knob and RSB in excellent condition. Jeff also polished out indentations I had placed on my RSB ears (don't ask). Everything assembled perfectly. I received everything vacuum sealed with a pot of Lubriplate grease, plus instruction for proper re-assembly. The repaired Windage Knob now engages/snaps-into the detents. Furthermore, Jeff re-parked the RSB after he polished out the indentations on the ears, so everything is good to go.
In all I got more than I counted on. Jeff continued to make the repairs even though knowing the Knob had been modified, it was marginal to begin with, but Jeff gave it his best effort. When things improve I trust Huey Gunner as a go to person for M1/M14/M1A gunsmithing, especially to perform Tech inspection of an M1 Garand, check for proper Op-rod fit & function, and re-park everything.
regards,
Rick, CA

This is my first M1 Garand which I purchased through the CMP. I took it to the range with a friend who has much more experience with Garands. It shot very well but I did not care for the trigger function and my friend let me shoot one of his Garands that HueyGunner had worked on. The difference in function was dramatic. My Friend, SGM Ohmer recommended HueyGunner. I sent the trigger assembly and when I got it back and shot it I could not have been more pleased. The take up was smooth and the break was crisp and smooth. My shot grouping improved significantly. I would whole heartedly recommend HueyGunner to other Garand owners who want to improve the shootability of their firearm. I am in the process of ordering another Garand and its trigger assembly will be visiting HueyGunner. His work is fantastic. Thank you Jeff you did good.

Jeff did a great job on my M1A. It needed a lot of work when I bought it. Jeff fitted it with a new NM stock, rebuilt the butt plate, modified the gas cylinder and piston, modified the flash supressor, rebuilt the trigger group, replaced the operating rod and spring, rebuilt the rear sight and refinished the entire rifle. He also refinished some spare magazines. Jeff's work was excellent, his prices were fair and his communication was always prompt. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking to have work done on a military style firearm.

HueyGunner's reputation preceded himself on the Firing Line Forum. I have been searching high and low for a Winchester bolt for a special build, as they all are. I was extremely happy when I saw one available from Jeff. He kept me in the loop as he refinished it to as-new condition. Awesome experience, very professional and thorough. Jeff, thank you for the PERFECT bolt. It is better than I imagined. Your reputation is what it is for a reason, and I am happy to have this perfect, integral part on my rifle!!

I found myself in a bind when I dropped my baby (M1A) off at the local gunsmith for a unitized gas cylinder and he totally destroyed it. I bought a used USGI unitized gas cylinder, he rebuilt my bolt, and polished my op-rod guide all for a super reasonable price. I couldn't believe the workmanship of the parts when I got them back today. I installed the parts and the gun shoots like it never did before. The gun is so smooth and he also gave me so much needed trustworthiness, which has no price. When I removed the old parts the gun wouldn't cycle the old gas cylinder had four holes in it and now the gun shoots like a dream. Hueygunner is the man when it comes to anything M1!!!!! I now have him under gunsmith in my phone as my permanent gunsmith. If you don't believe me just check out the pictures. The gas cylinder on the bottom was the old jacked up one. On the top is hueygunners. Also take a look at the polished op-rod. Thanks Jeff

I just received my NM unitized gas cylinder from Jeff,I am very impressed with the quality of the work. Heuygunner took the time to talk and explain about gas cylinders and installation on the rifle.He completely refinished all the parts and staked the black stainless torx head screws about 12 times each,polished the piston and gave me a new gas plug. Ordered the USGI gas cyl. from Mike at Windy City Sourcing(another honest guy to deal with),on the 13th,he shipped it straight to Jeff who worked his magic and in my hands on the 28th. I will be sending him a trigger group in the near future.

Jeff, you are fantastic brother!
I really wanted a NM trigger job done the way they were meant to be done. Thanks for taking the time to stone it instead of running a Dremel or grinder over it. When I got my trigger back everything was smooth and shiny. No burs and you could see the attention to detail. I haven't had the chance to take it to the range yet but dry firing is crisp with a solid break. Thanks again!

Jeff, thanks for the extensive work on my M14 trigger group. It works and feels better than any other GI trigger that I’ve tried. I will recommend your work to anyone that asks about iFeedback Message:
I have a Springfield M1A I have had for about 3 years. I love the rifle, & use it for deer hunting. The trigger wasn't good at all, & after reading about Jeff, & his skills I went ahead & sent him my trigger ahead of deer season, so I could get it back in time to get used to shooting it. The difference is like night & day! Man, this thing is so smooth through the first stage, & very crisp on the second. I now have pretty much a new trigger, with superior parts, instead of the cheap junk originally in it.
The icing on the cake was talking to one hell of a nice guy, that explains what you have, & exactly what he does to make it a hell of a lot better. He will def be getting my gas cylinder next.
