Info- Who does 223 to 7.63x39 conversions?

I have several NFA 223 Polytech's from SWD back in the day.. Need a 7.62x39 barrel as they all work with 7.62x39 mags.   I need a qualified C2 to rebarrel these to  7.62x39. 

They are all NFA guns.. Actually I have several.  SWD sold them at 700 each. I jumped on them and stocked them away for a rainy day-- It is raining now. 

The unusual thing is the 7.62x39 mags fit fine.

It's been a long while, and I cannot remember where I read it, but I vaguely remember reading about a company called Piece of History Firearms that does (or did) caliber conversions. I think the gentleman's name might have been Mario.

It's been several years since, so the details are kind of fuzzy.

Found that it it is a barrel and bolt change with rivets and Polytech still has these. Except for headspacing and drilling a gas port the changeout is straight forward but should be done by a C2 gunsmith with the "correct" tools and experience.  I understand that the rivet head compression can be critical. Not a backyard job.  Screw up a NFA receiver and you will not be happy. 

I just tried a AK mag in one of the guns with snapcaps and the 7.62 round lines up perfectly with the center of the 223 bore.

THANK YOU GUYS for the straight up answer.
