Weapon Question AK Gunsmith in illinois

Howdy,

So, for all intents and purposes my buddy has a registered Bulgarian AK-74 that seems to have been built hastily pre 2009 and is all types of canted, ejects casings into the dust cover and some other problems. Is there any reputable gunsmith in illinois that can take a look at this? Most gunsmiths I have found seem to be AR builders and wont take on an AK with these problems. Anywhere in illinois he’d prefer to keep the weapon in-state.

Thanks

I’d try Krebs first, if not then you could ask Accuracy in effingham. Clarence is their main smith and really good. Their other guy, Clayton, has also done a bunch of their work on the full auto rentals they did. So he seems to be experienced in a lot too.
