Need an experienced AK-47 smith in TN

[Guest Chuck McDaniel]

Folks,

If anyone can help, I'm looking for someone that has some solid AK-47 experience in TN, particularly if they are located in the Middle TN area. Regardless, I am willing to travel within TN.

The work will require some machining to the existing receiver.

Thanks much!

What are you trying to have done? Sidefolder conversion?

[10Kilr]

The smith at On Target is supposed to be pretty good from what I've heard. No first hand experience though.

[Guest Chuck McDaniel]

Sherman,

Yeah... sidefolder conversion with Bulgarian triangle, new sights, moly-resin job, and a few other things. I also have a milled gun that needs some of the same treatment, minus the sidefolder.

Do you know someone?

Thanks.

[Guest Chuck McDaniel]

10Kilr,

Thanks much. I will look into that.

Troy Sellers is on the east side but he's the best with any AK or variant I've seen

Here's a link to a rifle the 'smith at On Target did some work on. Looks good, tempted to let him work on my 107.

What kind of sights are you wanting installed? If you haven't seen them, the XS Big Dots are the heat.

Bluemax, thank you for responding. I have seen Troy's work, and it is very good indeed.

10Kilr, that is one good-looking rifle. As to the sights, I have Fuller's rear sight and will put on a 24/7 front. The second AK will get the XS Big Dot treatment.

I appreciate it gents. I think I have the information I need.

Bill Scarpino at On Target does good work on AK sidefolders, and Sean and Ronnie there do a very good Duracoat. They have worked on two of my guns.

Recently, all of my AK work is done by, "Rifle Dynamics," in Las Vegas. Jim Fuller and Dan Jaquish there are personal friends of mine and I would recommend their work without hesitation on anything that launches bullets, hands down. They can provide and install XS Sights, and just about any other worthwhile addition to your AK or M4.

Where did you buy your sidefolder? I've been looking for one to finish my build as well. and also trying to find an assembler. In range has good reputation so I might go with them.

Agree with the Troy Sellars recommendation!
