Would like to find an AK style rifle gunsmith near Monroeville Pennsylvania to change out my front sight/block and gas block on my Norinco HHM 90 to make pre-ban configuration. Thanks, Pat.

Best bet may be to call the local shops (Pgh Tactical, Anthony Arms, Guns Priced Right) and see if they can do it, or recommend someone who can.

I know Veronesi Gunworks does a lot of custom stuff, but it's almost to Clarion.

Call Powell Guns out in Penn Hills. He has been in the business for 30 years and I have had a few buddies who have bought guns off him. He isn't a gunsmith, but he will know where to go.

No local AK smiths that I'm aware of(I'm down in Washington, PA). Send it to John at M-13 Industries in Las Vegas. Does excellent work for a fair price.

I know where Veronesi hi works is located. It is up in the Distant/New Bethlehem area. It's a good haul for me. I used to patrol that area years ago. Very nice rual area. Great hunting.

Jim Hixon (Small Guys Gunsmith) is on Old Leechburg Road. 724/339-6908.

He's done a few small jobs for me on bolt action rifles that turned out well, but holy shit does he like to talk.

He did mention something about working on AK's, but I would make absolutely sure he's familiar with them first.

Might be worth a call since he's so close.

I've always been told he doesn't like to fuck with them. However, I'd heard that 3rd Party in regards to having one of my AK SBR's engraved.

CDS arms does a lot with ARs. Not sure if does AK stuff, but he maybe worth a call. He is colt and glock certified.

I shipped my AK to John Houlton at M-13 Industries today. Spoke with him this past Thursday an he will be able to de-ban my NHM90. He will also make sure my rifle is compliant with the Fed's.
