THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I know nothing about how to identify an AK so that I can buy a new barrel for it. All that I can tell you is that it is a milled receiver. It is a press fit barrel with a 23mm diameter, length of 16.33", and the muzzle threads are 14mm x 1.0mm. The length of the gas tube is something between 6-7/8"-6-9/16". How do I tell if it is Yugoslavian, Romanian, Bulgarian, etc.? Do I need to take some measurements of the gas block location, front sight location, barrel diameters, etc. If a person needs more dimensions off the barrel what do I need to measure to identify it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

They will tell you where it came from. List and pictures of marks |

Not being an ass, but I bet a simple picture would work.

There is not any markings on it. I am under the assumption that an individual built it? I do not have the rifle in my possession for a picture. At this point I have only taken a few measurements (as listed above) off of the barrel when I was visiting this guy and I want to try to figure out what kind of rifle/barrel it is. Is the dimensions that I took enough to identify it?
If not, what other dimensions do I need to measure on the barrel to identify what type of AK-47 it is? |

Im by no means an AK pro but I dont think measurements are going to help you any. Marking or pictures is what you need.

Forgot to mention, on the chamber end of the barrel that gets pressed in to the milled receiver there is a large diameter flange that stops up against the front of the receiver.
It looks like this. http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/productdetaillargerimage.aspx?id=ak47-7gm http://images.ebsco.com/pob/greenmountain/catalog/AK47-7GM%20Print.jpg http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/productdetail.aspx?id=AK47-7GM Green Mountain Rifle Barrels is showing this to be a 1960 Polish? Are there any other countries that make milled receivers using a press fit barrel with a flange? |

Sounds like a simple handguard flange. Not uncommon at all.
We going to play 20 questions with this thing? I vote it is a Bulgarian milled receiver with a used Hungarian parts kit and a crappy original barrel with worn out bore.  |

Are there any other countries that make milled receivers using a press fit barrel with a flange? Hers's some more info in my quote above? Is it a Polish or are there others using this flanged barrel also? |

Take a damn photo and post it. Your description describes just about any milled AK out there.

if the wood upper and lower hand guards have 3 vents/slots,it's yugo,only 2 or zero is anything else.see what the rear sight letter is,being an O is yugo,S polish.a backwards N Bulgarian/ruskie but that doesn't always set true as people change them for whatever reason..I would guess if it is(barrel) pitted I would tend to think it is yugo,if it is as bad as ya say.Just look at the markings on the side,yugo's don't always have zastava or circled Z on the side.hell it may be chimanesey

Stop wasting everyone's time!

It is a possibility that the OP is testing us to see how many of us will reply to this thread... just for shits and giggles you know.
How many here believe he's serious and how many think he's laughing his ass off at us - let's see a show of hands?  |
