But...he is located in Surprise. That may be too far out of your way.

I had him do an UZI a few years ago, amazing work. He is quite busy, so turnaround will take a little bit.

Lee Armory for quality AK builds. They are awesome.

Kilo Guns, well if you still hand over money after reading the reviews online....good luck.

I've sent my last three builds to Troy at InRange. $350.00 each plus shipping to build and paint. Very happy with his work. My Tantal build is suppose to arrive Monday. I've read nothing but bad reviews about Kilo. Have thought about using Lee for my next one.

I had them do a simple pin and weld on a 14.5" barrel.
The finished product looked like it had been used as a hammer a few times.

I have one of petronovs polish ak’s that I got from Atlantic firearms..build looks great, rivets are nice and shoots great..best of all when it does break and if he’s still around I’ll use the lifetime warranty...So as far as build wise mine is great but he’s had some bad rap cause of the whole Lancaster crap that he got from Mr. Chet...if his prices are reasonable I would give him a try cause kilo didn’t make it happen for a friend of mine...
