In military we kept upper an lower an bolt carrier an just recoated upper an lower then everything else was replaced new.....
Just some thoughts.
You have former DOD armorers in your company or circle of friends Brownells has the tools needed to accomplish such in house.

There are gunsmiths that can do it but if you want to make sure its done properly send it to Bushmaster. I’m assuming you have a Bushmaster M-4.

How do you get 10,000 machine guns and know anything about guns? How do you get the license and permits to deal with such large amounts of machine guns when CMP won't release a semi-auto M14? Things do not add up here?

I am looking for info about companies that rehab or refurbish small weapons for the military. Most interested in rehab of Colt M4 and Bushmaster M4. Large scale projects under contracts
Whos doing it. What specs. Costs or bids per unit.
I was one of the civilian ordnance techs hired to rework Marine Corps M16A1 rifles into M16A2s as the JSSAP Program of the late 1970s-early '80s began to take off. We not only rebuilt small arms from all the services for the using service, but in some instances those turned in by one service [Navy and Marines] were rebuilt for the use of another [USAF]. Also, reworks for some foreign governments and NGOs [the Contras, among others] were also done, as well as some small arms developmental engineering. We also did initial acceptance inspections on newly manufactured small arms [Navy Mossberg 500 shotguns and Ruger Security-Six .38 revolvers for DOD police and military installation gate guards] which sometime cost less for a new unit than a rebuild of an older system that had seen long service and for which parts were sometimes difficult or impossible to obtain. We worked on everything from .22 conversion units for M1911A1 .45 autopistols [training guns for Naval Academy cadets at Annapolis] to 20mm cannon for El Salvadorian Navy/Coastal Patrol small boats.
Yeah, they're still at it. Life in the sandboxes of Iraq and Afghanistan is as hard on the weapons as it is on the guys and girls. But small arms maintenance and repair is not where the big bucks is. I
