So I'm getting an AR lower modified to accept AK-47 magazines, locking them in place in the same way as an AK-47. The 16" Model 1 Sales upper in 7.62x39mm I'm getting for it needs to have metal shaved away in the upper reciever so that the AK mags can fit. If I were to accomplish this task at home with tools, how would I accomplish the task--or is that out of the question for this guy?
Specifically, what tools...

Also, I'm aware the bolt carrier needs to be modified to clear the lips of the AK magazine unless I get the bolt carrier for 7.62x39mm made by MGI Military.

Worst case, there is a shop I can go through who can perform the task.
Thanks in advance for any help...
