I picked up an WASR 10 on the cheap, and  it appears the barrel was pressed too far in.  The bolt will not come anywhere close to closing even on an empty chamber, and I cannot begin to figure out how to ress the barrel out with the tools I have available.  Would anyone be willing to have a gander at it for me?  What are the odds that simply swapping bolts might do me any good?  I know nothing about AK's.... this is my first.  Any help would be very much appreciated... thanks, all!

EDIT: I will get pics taken just s soon as possible.  Nutty week here, and priorities have put this on the backburner.  Thanks for the advice and patience!

Can you post pictures?

I can certainly try... what would be helpful to see?  A friend with decent calipers measured several AK47's, and this one pretty clearly was just pressed too far in.  Don't know who fouled up the build, but I can't see how it could ever have been fired.    I would assume that the barrel would need to be welded and a new pin hole drilled, too, since this one was off... unless you can just go oversize?  (I don't know... total AK novice here)

Thanks!

Remove the bolt from the carrier, place it into battery, show us what you eke an when you stay it won't close. there are oversiezed barrel pins you can buy, but you need to find out where the issue is. You'd be surprised how little a barrel needs to move to go from go to no go.

Will do... I thank you, sir!  (FWIW, the bolt may have been bubba'd just a bit at some point; it looks ground-on or at least buffed to me).

Here is the tool you need to press the barrel out of an assembled AK.
