Suggest Gunsmith to take Form 1'd AK from 14" down to 12" & Re-Crown?

[KestrelBike]

Get the crown cutting tools yourself with the,apropriate pilot sae and then crown the barrel yourself of course after having it appropriately engraved. Alot of gunsmiths will want,to remove the barrel and throw it on the lathe which is a great way to do,it but in my opinion it isnt needed if youre not cutting threads.

This was my first thought- cutting the barrel as square as possible, then going after it with a brass screw to crown it. Looks like it comes out ok, but after watching Mr Guns & Gear do it on YouTube, the resulting groups looked absolutely horrendous. That or he's a crap shot.

Cut the barrel yourself with a hack saw, you are now the maker, bring it to a gunsmith to have the crown touched up, he is now providing a gunsmithing service. Problem is as above, finding a gunsmith that can do it without removing the barrel.

Yeah- hacksaw's ready to go, just have to get it engraved first. At this point, I'm about ready to throw in the towel and just have Rifle Dynamics work their magic on it- at least at that point, the whole rifle will be 1,000% smooth. And it'll be "cerakoted" (they use a different finish/technique, but it looks good).
