Full description and what we offer
Weapon Genetics LLC is a gunsmith shop focused on precision work and custom builds. They specialize in AK platform rifles, but also handle general gunsmithing, Cerakote finishing, and NFA work across all firearm types.
AK Platform Builds
They build complete AKMs from parts kits: - Standard AKM with original barrel + Cerakote: $300 - Standard AKM with virgin (new) barrel + Cerakote: $350 - Underfolder/sidefolder variants: add $50
Additional AK services include parts kit demil (removal of barrel stubs, receiver pieces, and rivets), piston installation, trigger assembly installation, and individual Cerakote services.
Cerakote Coating
Cerakote is a two-part ceramic epoxy coating. They offer both air-dry and high-temp options. Every item gets media blasted, soaked in acetone, and baked before coating to increase abrasion and corrosion resistance.

They've built custom pieces like the Dolly Parton Khyber Pass AK47—a limited-run AKM built on Romanian 7.62×39 parts with US-made barrel and receiver, wrapped in traditional Paki tape and copper wire with period photos. Listed at $1,400.
