I don't know if Virginia Beach is within driving distance for you but, I had a Century Tantal re-barrelled with the correct 5.45 barrel by Coastal Gun Works. Of course, this was 5-6 years ago, turn around time was within a week or two. No issues.
Sorry for the Facebook Link, but I couldn't get a proper web address.
MAD Custom works on AKs per google reviews. guys speak highly of him
He recently chopped and threaded a barrel for me it was done the day he said it would be ready and at the price he told me the thread protector was a bonus and blended seamlessly into the barrel.
