AK47 barrel removal (BF hammer method) Pt-2

AK47 barrel removal (BF hammer method)
This is an easy way to remove your AK barrel from the trounnion for demilling.
The punch I use could be a bolt with a brass nut, it will work just the same.
Note; the tip to keep from loosing the barrel pin is to tape it to your rear sight.

I need to demill my AK 74 variant, but the front trunnion is spot welded to the receiver. What should I do?

[Zoul762]

@troopcom if it were me I would use an angle grinder to delicately grind the welds off.

Be sure to stop before you break all the way through the side of the receiver stub and just peal it back, then use a file to smooth out the trunnion. If they welded over the rivet holes you will need to re-drill them.

Yeah, i bought myself the romanian barrel from arms of america, it's taking forever to ship. I wasn't too happy about the price, but *shrugs* lesson learned, next time, buy yugoslavian or an AK 74. lol.

@agumon12 To get a low cost Romy barrel go to arms of america.com

And for a good deal on a Bulgy 74 kit check on AK Builder.com

@Zoul762

I like how you think. :D alrighty, i'll just get a bulgy kit or something similar. Though I am having the most difficult time trying to find a Romanian type barrel for my AK. I really don't want to spend $100 for one.

@agumon12

You can convert a 7.62 to a 5.45, but by the time you buy the parts to do the change over. You will have paid out enough to buy a 5.45 kit. So it would make more 'cents' to just buy a 5.45 kit & build it the way you want it.

You will end up with one of each & two is better than one.

@jopit78

I have no idea dude, nobody seems to want to answer anything related to barrels or converting a 7.62 to a 5.45 versions... I'm getting so fed up with this "Secrecy" crap.

[jopit78]

does anyone know if a yugo 7.62 barrel will work with a romanian kit?

[Zoul762]

I use the all thread method to re-install the barrel.

If you go to gunco.net & do a search for " Allthread barrel install kicks azz".

It will show how to use a piece of 1/4" grade 8 all thread to press the 7.62 barrel back into the trunnion.

[comblock2]

how do you press the barrel back into the trunnion without a press?
