damn no one in the area can do it?
There was...damn guvment involvement!
Send it out to a trusted AK smith.. JBI Armory, Arizona Response Systems (though I believe he is only taking on build work and not custom stuff at the moment), Jemak Firearms, a ton of others I cant think of at the moment but can be found over at AKFiles.com
The scope mount is easy, the cuts for the side folder are much more involved.
I think Hickman Rifles in the Springs used to do AK builds.. they might be worth checking out.
There used to be a guy in Rollinsville/Ned area that did Ak builds but I believe he moved to Tennessee recently. I think he was called Iron Curtain Designs or something, his website ironcurtain.us looks to be down.. Two River Arms is another..
If you're willing to mail out and wait, I second Two Rivers Arms in OK. They did the sbr on my slr104ur and slr107ur. Great work, great guys; only thing is the 2-3 month lead time. AK's are their specialty though.
Thanks guys
A task easily done.
Unfortunately it falls into the criteria of:And as a result falls under I.T.A.R. fuckery.Quote:
Use of any special tooling or equipment upgrading in order to improve the capability
of assembled or repaired firearms;
So just adding the scope mount falls under this?
Yessir. Machining is required and "specialized tooling" (rivet setting tools) would have to be used.Quote:

That's the thing that really sucks about this ITAR "Guidance" letter. It is so ambiguous and broad-based that technically if you lay file to a firearm and remove any material, you meet the criteria of a "Manufacturer" as DDTC defines it.

Thanks, it sucks
To make it even worse, one does not have to be a FFL holder to fall under the aegis of DDTC/ITAR. I have spoken to a gentleman who owns a machine shop and contracts to a well known firearm manufacturer for some work.Quote:

He is bound by ITAR even though he never sets his hands on a firearm.
Gun control by regulation.
Call Centennial Gun Club. They have a smith there. I don't know if they work on AKs since the ridiculous regulation came into play, but it's worth a shot.
The same Centennial Gun Club that sells out of spec AR15 lowers and refuses to take them back or replace? That Centennial Gun Club?Quote:

You had me worried. :) I feel badly for that member.Quote:

I would not buy firearms there- there are better deals to be had elsewhere. But when I had an issue with a firearm, I could bring it right to the gunsmith on site. I like the indoor range.

I found someone to do it. Thanks for all the feedback!
Okay, several members have had issues with equipment purchases made there. I understand that. The gunsmith located there is a subcontractor, and is not affiliated with sales or ordering merchandise.
It had nothing to do with centennial, I refuse to step foot in that shithouse.
Glad you found someone to help you.
thanks
