Gunsmith to Assemble AK-47 Kit

**weeklycigar** · October 20th, 2009, 01:04 PM

Hello, I've had an AK parts kit and receiver for a few years in a box in the closet. I am looking for a gunsmith who can assemble this for me, I have all rivets, etc, and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks! I am in Pittsburgh, near Reading and in Chester County frequently so anyone in those regions would be great! The main concern is finding someone who can jig up and build this thing correctly including utilizing the rivets instead of bolting the thing together (for a tighter permanent assembly). All parts are 100% legal including the registered semi-auto receiver.

I believe that Pa Patriot is your man. If he can't do it, go over to www.theakforum.net and you will find a couple of great guys over their. Turbothis being one of them...

Third Rich for this, if he has the time... he build my AMD 65 for me... and I've since hammered the hell out of it.

At a shoot at my motorcycle rally, i handed it to some crazy canadians that had never held a gun much less fired one, and they dumped a case of ammo thru it in a little over an hour and a half

.... held together just fine

as a note, the receiver is painted in Rustoleum satin black... the rest is original finish

4th for Rich ... but be prepared for a wait. He is doing a build be for me, should be done soon.

Thanks everyone. I hope to hear back from Rich soon! Looks like great work and I don't mind a wait, it will be great just to know that this thing will get done. It's been in the closet, in the box, for years. Does Rich have a physical shop? Maybe I'll just pop in this weekend.
