I wouldn’t use Kilo. They did a really bad job on a buddies rifle that ended up w Kilo in court having to pay another smith to unphuck his work.
I would use either:

Or
https://www.instagram.com/sof_defense
Sales@sofdefense.com for build inquiries
Phoenix , Arizona

Appreciate the info, I actually emailed both of them and will probably go with sof defense..is it from my reading on ak files that they were both owners of Lee armory and then recently went separate ways ?

Another recommendation to NOT use Kilo guns.
They did a pin and weld for me and really screwed the pooch.
