Looking for a reputable AK gunsmith

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I've lurked around on this forum for some time before I made an account but i finally did! Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction or offer some advice. I purchased an Arsenal SGL24 in September. I would really like to have the barrel cut down, rethreaded and fit with a Battlecomp AKBC to meet the minimum required length. It appears that the front sight block is attached or tack welded on to the "cool muzzle cap" installed by Kvar on rifles destined for NJ. Basically I am asking you guys if anyone can recommend a GOOD AK gunsmith to perform this work. Aside from Rifle Dynamics, is there anyone else out there that wouldn't need my rifle for a year+?? Thank you all in advance and I'm sorry if any of my post is unclear or confusing.

Was this from the guy in Paterson?

 

I'm only looking to have the barrel cut down and moving the FSB and permanently attached muzzle break to make it at least 16.25".

 

Any idea how much that would cost?

You mentioned Texas in the PM that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

 

How long did he tell you it would take?

 

This is what I want it to look like.

I understand now....Yes i mentioned texas because i also talked to Jim at JBI Armory (in texas) and his quote was on par with what George quoted me......He didnt give me a time frame, but 3 different places i emailed all told me 8-12 weeks....Now they do ALOT of AK's, i dont think it will take george 8-12 weeks, but i will be patient and wait for his call...Gunsmiths dont like to be rushed...LOL

Superbee, mind telling me what he qouted you as well? Thank you.

 

To cut/ crown,thread my barrel from 21" to 12.5", remove trunnion, pull barrel, machine for my Krebs gb/fsb, pin on my fake can I made, function test fire, quote was 250.00

 

I'm supplying the AMD length piston also.... Should be done soon from what I'm told....

 

Pics up when I finish the build.

 

Just an FYI....I was quoted 350.00 from Arizona Response, and 250.00 from JBI Armory....So George is right in there.....

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
