    Good AK Gunsmith?

    Hello all. I recently purchased an AK-47 and I am looking for a company that offers services for the AK. Most places I have used in the past for the AR platform don't work on the AK. I am only looking to have some simple work done; basically shorten the barrel and perm on a muzzle device. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes I searched...
    Yes I know, buy ammo, and practice...
    Blah, Blah, other internet ninja recommendations...

    Get ahold of Matt Yeamans: http://www.mygunsnorthwest.com/index.html. The dude is legit and his prices are more than fair. He did a custom build for me two years ago and I will be sending more work to him in the very near future. I would also recommend Troy Sellars at In Range, Rifle Dynamics, and Mesa Kinetic Research.

    I second the Rifle Dynamics vote. They've done a substantial amount of work for me and I have yet to be disappointed.

    Rifle dynamics is always good but pricey with a really long turn around.

    Krebs custom is the same.

    Legion USA does good work and has fast turn-around.

    I second this. Matt does great work and is also great to deal with.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    Thanks for the information all, I saw Rifle Dynamics while researching this, and their website even stated that their backlog was substantial. I will explore your other reccomendations.

    I sent a Mak-90 to Matt Yeaman just this last August for some work, and he got it back to me that same month.

    I suggest that you send him an email telling him what you would like done, and he will quote you a price and a time frame.
