New here....Need some help...

[RegularGuy24]

Hello all...just moved back to my home state and just found this sweet site. I'm looking for a good AK gunsmith in the area of Indianapolis/Greenfield area..if anyone had any work done and are pleased with the result I would love to know where you went. I have lived out of state for the last 12 years so I'm basically starting from scratch. Thanks

What do you need done?

 

[RegularGuy24]

Saiga 12 conversion, Saiga 7.62 barrel threading and front sight post switch

Honestly, the Saiga 12 conversion is pretty easy and can be done with hand tools. That's how I did mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER4xCkd4_do

Some Saigas have threaded barrels under the shroud. Any machinist or home gunsmith that has worked on an AK and has a threader and press could do it. If the recommended smith above can't help, the INGO Gunsmithing forum is a good place to start. There are plenty of guys with shops in there.

You can prob do this yourself IF you have a threader as mentioned above.
