He's not a boutique builder that charges a premium because they think their name associated with your gun makes it more valueable, he's one of us. And when I say he's one of us, he's not going to screw you over. I've have a few no frills rivet builds without a refinish done over the years. Solid work.

Check over on The AK Forum.
He's always seemed squared away. Does some cool work. |

I haven't ever done any business with him, but I've seen some if his builds on theakforum, and some are really amazing. His reweld Type IIs are awesome. |

No direct experience with him, but he has a good reputation and I will be sending him some work in near future too.

I bought a few parts from him and asked him a few questions over the years and he is a stand up guy in my opinion.
I've been burned by a couple of popular smiths over the years so trust doesnt come too easy for me these days.. but I wouldn't hesitate having him do a re-weld for me. |

He is a good guy, however I did have builds with him that took a while.

Google his name, you get a bunch of hits. All the ones I looked at were positive.

He did my Hungarian reweld. I'd recommend him to others.

Quoted:
I'm about to send a rifle out to Matt Yeamans (aka Turbothis), and wanted to hear from other Arfcommers before I do so. What's giving me pause is the fact that he is less than 1/2 of what others are quoting on the work and will complete it in a fraction of the time. Usually, when things sound too good to be true, they usually are. Have you personally had work done by him? How was the build quality? Thanks! Did a Yugo Milled reweld. Turned out great. |

I bought a PAP M92 from a guy here on the boards that was done by Matt. Triangle stock was done beautifully, my new favorite rifle.

I was going to have a reweld done by him, but I ran out of funds at the time. Glad I bought one of the demilled Yugo milled ak receivers from apex while they still had them. Though still kicking myself for not buying a Yugo milled kit with original barrel at the same time. Also he did a rare Type 1 AK reweld/rivet for someone awhile back. |

Turbo is the best when it comes to re-welds

He sometimes gets backlogged with work, but I have had several things go through him and he has been nothing but professional. |

I have an early milled Yugo rpk kit that I need done. What's a rough guess as to what it will cost me? I planned on contacting him but thought I would ask here first.

I would prefer to have my kits rewelded but I am trying to figure out if it is worth it versus just buying and building on a 100% milled receiver. |

I have one of Turbothis's reweld AK's, it's part German and part Russian (IIRC) and he was a stand up guy when I dealt with him, I've also heard nothing but good about him from other AK owners and builders.
