Since I know very little about gunsmith work, what does that mean exactly? Is "press and pin barrel" the normal way AK barrels are mated to the receiver or is that something special? Thanks! The earlier milled AK's, like the Type 2's and 3's, had a barrel that was screwed into the receiver and then timed/headspaced. The later AKM rifles had a stamped receiver that the barrel was pressed in and then pinned. Because you krink kit is made for a stamped receiver, that's why they say only barrels that can be pressed and pinned. |
