Where to get AK barrel threaded and maybe bayo lug installed?????

[Opie]

Anyone have first hand knowledge of a trustworthy AK smith with decent turnaround? I am looking at getting my barrel threaded for sure, and possibly the bayo lug replaced on my Hungarian SA-85M postban.

I have asked before and was told by everyone to do it myself. I am not comfortable with that, I would rather spend the extra money to have it done right the first time.

Links would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Troy Sellars at InRange in TN does outstanding work and has just announced that he's accepting new work.

Will at RedJacket in Baton Rouge does very good work and should have a decent turn around.

Mike Friend at The Firing Line in OK is also a top name smith.

Mario at Piece of History Firearms in AZ has a good rep.

I've heard great things about Glen Riddle at Magnum Gunsmithing but I don't have any contact info.

Hope that helps.
