Does anyone have any suggestions on an AK knowledgeable gunsmith - prefer middle Ga, but I'm willing to do some riding for the best place.

Gun is a vepr in 5.45. The front sight was moved to gas block & rail was done by krebs, but they left like 6" of heavy barrel sticking out and once I put a can on it, I'm going to be 12+ inches out past my handgaurd with 1/2 of that being unnecessary weight.
I know I could cut/thread it by hand without pulling it, but I'm wanting to run it suppressed, so concentric threads are a must and I'm just not that good lol.

ONLY looking for EXPERIENCED & CAPABLE gunsmiths - this is not a build I want done in bubba's garage with some 1850's hand tools...
No firearms training academy - reached out to them twice with no response. A guy I met the other week suggested 'Section 8' in Jackson - anyone had any dealings with them?
Any and all good suggestions are much appreciated!

Something I can do no problem. Not cheap as it's a good bit of work involved. I'm up in Cartersville so not really close to you at all. I'm also backed out probably 3+ months.
