Is there anyway to thread the end of the barrel?  I've taken my VEPR K in 7.62x39 to two different local smiths and they don't want to touch it because of how well the gas block and barrel are pinned or pressed on?  I most definitely do not want someone experimenting with it these days if you know what I mean.  I called Krebs a while back as they installed a 74 brake, "press on thread adapter and pinned the brake" and some other goodies back in the day, but they said they no longer do custom work.  Any other VERY top notch smiths I can call for some advice?

It can be done, but why mess up a near perfect version of the AK?  Keep it clean and simple.  Get an AR15 and slap all kinds of cheesy bling bling crap on it. But leave the VEPR as is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If you want to mess with a rifle go buy a cheap-e.
No reason to mess with the VEPR!

Bling?  LOL!  While I appreciate everyone's concern about not wanting to mess with a VEPR, I need to tone down the flash a bit more so I can use them day, and night.  See Victor's section over here---->Night Vision

Just hang on to your wallets!

If you are carefully enough it can be done without taking off those things. I have done it myself. In the end I only scratched some finish in the front of the front sight, Other than that came out perfect.
