How far NorCal and are you looking for some specific expertise? I can refer you to a guy in Fremont, but not sure if you mean "NorCal" like Redding or NorCal bay area, etc..

Plenty of YouTube videos. Just need to have the right tools. I built my own that way. Great way to learn.

You can try reaching out to this guy: Paul Hillar <pandrsports1911@gmail.com> - he works out of his home in Fremont. He may be able to help.

Almost anyone can do simple assembly work.
If you need actual machining or customization that is beyond simple assembly, you can ship it to me or make an in-person shop visit for while-you-wait work.

Fremont isn't norcal. That's almost 6 hours of southerly driving for me.
that's why I asked for clarification as well.Just to clarify you don’t need an FFL to build one, only to buy. How far disassembled is your rifle? Typically if the upper is complete, the lower is a cakewalk. You’ll need a few tools, vice block armorers wrench lock tight, a punch to stake the nut, but it’s pretty straightforward. The hardest part I found was the springs for the trigger but someone said YouTube is a great reference.
Now if the upper needs to be completed it’s more time consuming for sure but you can assemble lower and test it out. Don’t dry fire without the upper attached though you can crack the lower if the hammer hits it. I’m in Vacaville, there’s a place called delta precision firearms, or goodshots. Maybe give them a call and see what they’ll charge.
