WANT TO PURCHASE AN AK FLAT AND PARTS KIT DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD SMITH WHO BENDS THE FLATS AND ASSEMBLES THE PARTS KITS IN MARYLAND AND DO I GOT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE MD RED TAPE TO REGISTER THE WEAPON AFTER FINAL ASSEMBLY
You know what would be cool? If you didn't type in all caps like you were shouting at us. Registration of your home-build AK is optional but not necessary so long as it stays with you.
If you want to avoid the red-tape, you will have to bend the flat and do all of the work yourself. If a gunsmith was to bend the flat for you, you would be required to fill out the paperwork just as if you were purchasing the receiver from them.
