Looking for a gunsmith to work on my AK variant

[Guest Opie Coyote]

I'm looking for someone to open the magazine well on my new Zastava PAP. From what I understand it has to be widened and there may be a little work on the bullet guide to get it to feed well. I plan on replacing the stock and forearm (grip, butt, and forearm=3 parts and US mag body, follower, floorplate=3 parts and 6 parts, if I understand correctly=922 compliant ) But I'm wanting someone who knows what they're doing to open the mag well. Any suggestions?

Troy Sellars at InRange in Kodak, TN performed work on my Norinco AK and did an outstanding job. He builds custom rifles and stays very busy. I would definitely recommend. In Range C2

Hope this helps, good luck!

If you use the mag parts as US compliance parts, you would always have to have the US mag with it and could not use other surplus mags. Right?

ibavol-thanks for the recommendation, I'll look him up.

westwindmike-Yep, I'd have to keep the us mags, but that's ok since I only want a half-dozen or so. I might eventually change the trigger group and have thought about looking for a chrome-lined barrel. I'm just getting into AK's. I don't know a lot about them and wanted to learn some. I guess I only bought it because the 2nd Amendment gives me the freedom to do so...and so did my wife.

definitely get a tapco g2 trigger...they are awesome for the money...plus that should give you another compliance part....i think.....

I agree with magic, the g2 is a breeze to put in and is 3 parts.
