New AK Needs Side Mount Plate

[chraland51]

I have a Century Arms C39 Centurion, version 2 on the way. I would like to find a somewhat local gunsmith who has AK work experience to drill, tap and mount a side scope mount plate on the milled receiver. I want to put one of the Russian AK scopes on the weapon that are built right onto the side mount. Are there any gunsmiths out there who can do this for me? My alternative is the Texas Weapon System bolt cover mount which will not allow me to make use of the scope that I want. Also, what would be the estimated cost of this work?

Proper installation would be to rivet the rail in place...however i understand why many are using screws and locktite because of the serial number getting covered by the rail. There pretty easy to install so really anyone that is used to drilling and tapping bolt guns should be right at home

I have been trying to locate a gunsmiths on-line and have had no luck trying to wade through the advertisements of the Indianapolis area gun shops. Who can recommend a competent gunsmith to put the mounting plate on my new AK?

I think Shooter521 mentioned in a thread a while ago that he/they at Bradis now refer people to JM Gunsmithing in Greenwood.

Yea shooter is who i was thinking of just didn't know if they would take it on. Hence the maybe. Never hurts to call someone and ask. But as for people that mess with just gunsmithing really would be the first 2 mentioned.
