[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AMD-63 kit

Posted: 12/27/2004 3:19:28 PM EDT

I just picked up an AMD-63 kit from a friend who got halfway through drilling out the rivets for a screw build and got bored with the project. I got to looking over the drill work, and it looks like on the front trunnion he drilled slightly into the barrel on one of the holes. It doesn't look very far in. Is the barrel a total loss?

I slightly dented the barrel in my build. Can you measure the depth of the drill?

From the outside of the trunnion, minus the old receiver, it is just under 1/4". It looks like the bit pretty much just dimpled the barrel. It doesn't look like it went farther than the tip of the bit.

I don't really want to press out the barrel. It was free, so I'll just hang onto it for a later project.

He has a tendancy to get bored with things easily. I am often the recipient of his half started projects. I just finished restoring a 1939 German K98 that he had a barrel and receiver for.
