OK, so here is the situation I am in. I have a Bulgarian AK (shhh) It's an ISD imported by Armory USA. Yeah i know at the time I couldn't afford an Arsenal. Anyway, these were built from "factory seconds" but it has been nothing but great and one of the smoothest actions I own on that platform.
So I am looking to get it Cerakote and wanted to get a side rail installed. The finish is eh and I hate the plastic USA furniture. I picked up some US wood furniture but then I lose the rail for the red dot on the handguard/gas tube... I don't mind gunsmithing and tend not to shy away, but I really do not have the tools to add the side rail. I could also just rattle can it but since it has been so good for awhile I wanted to give it a proper paintjob.
Here is the problem, I have called or emailed every Gunsmith in my AO and none of them will touch an AK... I was like are you kidding... your a Gunsmith by trade... So I am looking for a Gunsmith that someone hopefully on here can recommend and knows. I could just find someone on the files but I don't know any of them like I know you guys!!! So if I am going to ship it I want it to be to a trustworthy individual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
