Gunsmith Recommendation - Western NC

[SCshooter]

Looking for a good gunsmith in the greater Asheville area.
Want to change out the front sight block on a SAR-2 AK-74 to one that's threaded for a muzzle device.

Prefer one that won't hold the rifle for three months and still can't confirm he's ordered the parts.

Dave Tooley is in Charlotte, worth the drive.

Thanks. I'll keep him in mind if I can't find someone closer.

Phil Flack has some trigger time on using Ak's , good smith

Kinda goes against the "won't hold it for 3 months before ordering parts" in my experience.

I'd give Sam Summey in Flat Rock a call B&S Gunsmithing, Flat Rock NC, 828-606-3080

Joe's a very good smith. See OP last sentence.

You can try CMP armory in Dallas but I think he has reverted to NFA only work.

Thanks. I'll give Sam a call.

I've had Sam do work for me too.
Be ready, if he takes a shine to you, he likes to talk. And talk.

Thanks for the recommendations. I ordered the parts (got them in less than a week), handed them off to Sam at lunchtime this past Tuesday and picked it back up from him yesterday. A day and a half to do the work. He did an AWESOME job.

I went to gunsmith school with Raymond Bunn who is in Sylva.
He's been going for over 30 yrs now, used to smith out of a larger/public shop for years that closed recently , but now is on his own.
