Default need AK builder in PA

I live in eastern PA on the NJ border, ABE area.
I'm looking for an AK builder to do some simple work on my ak. I want to change muzzle brakes mine is currently welded on and I need a new one also welded on in its place. I'm also thinking about changing the stock trunuin from a riveted on to one that uses scews to hold it on. Reason for this mod is for a folding stock.

hold the presses. Trunnions are trunnions. They are not made for rivets vs screws. When you see screws it's because someone just used them instead of going through the work of putting rivets in. You don't need screws for a folding stock. BTW ... rivets are preferable to screws.

What type of folding stock are you trying to use? Also, do you have a Krink or some other type of short barreled AK? If you don't, there is no reason to weld the brake back on.

It's your AK and you can do what ever you want, but I'm just trying to save you some work and maybe some $$$.
