I picked up a Polish underfolder parts kit from Midway and now shopping for barrel and 100% receiver. The kit is complete with matching s/n's and the parts appear to be in good shape but lots of finish wear. I'm considering keeping the 'used' look so will try to give the barrel and receiver a blued finish then buff it down but if that doesn't turn out well I would probably have it all black oxided. This is my first AK build and I don't plan on any future builds so buying a lot of expensive tools and jigs is not feasible. The one thing I'd like help with is headspacing and drilling for the barrel pin so I'm looking for a smith that could do that part for me. If the cost if reasonable I would also be interested in also having them rivet the trunnions otherwise I will probably go the air-hammer method. Does anybody have a recommendation for a shop, preferably SE Mn but could also be metro. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated!
