Does anyone know of a good gunsmith, known for quality work on AK type rifles, in the Austin area?

I have Clinton era Romak 991 with a narrow trunion that I need to have rebuilt (or machined), to accept high cap magazines.

Unless you have a sentimental connection to it sell it and buy a WASR

I dont have any sentimental attachments to it and Ive got a couple other AKs. Just want to have it done. Plus WASRs are going for around $600 bucks now. Dont think I could ever bring myself to pay that much for one.
