Being a messer-upper of perfectly good things I messed up the finish on my ORF PMKMS build (sorry guys) and now it looks crappy. I'm wondering if anyone thinks most gunsmiths would blue an AK? I think a lot of them are afraid of AKs, so I thought I'd ask you guys before I took it around, just to see what you guys think. I'm talking about run of the mill smiths here used to working on sporting rifles and high-end 1911s. Would they touch it? |

Damn that sucks! A couple of years ago I opened up the phone book to look for a gunsmith that would install a 74 brake on my SAR-1, and damn was I in for a rude awakening. I was told that I/they would be breaking the law, or we won't work on those type of AW's. Long story short I found a local class 3 gunsmith that is a enthusiest like us. I would not be afraid to open up the phone book, and call around. What could it hurt? |

If you truely want it blued and not refinished with some other type of finish (parkerizing, spray-on type finish), then I can recommend Checkmate Custom in Florida (www.checkmatecustom.com . I couldn't find anyone within a couple of hundred miles of me that did bluing anymore. I sent my parts for a milled Type 3 AK that I wanted blued to them and they did a great job with quick turnaround. |
