My last build isnt going as planned.  While I was pressing in the barrel, it must have cocked to one side and bent permanently.  I am pretty sure the barrel is garbage now, because when I look down the inside, I can actually see it curving to the left.  Looks like I have to invest in one of the barrels from CFS.

Should I try a virgin barrel they sell for yugos, or just buy one of their used ones (dark bore) that includes the whole assembly?

How hard is it to install a virgin barrel?  

THanks,

Do some searches I have read several posts where people straighten those bent barrels and shot them just fine.

This isn't bad at all. All you have do is bend it about 80 degrees more and you will have the only corner shooting AKM in the U.S. :)

To be serious I know that during the Afghan war soldiers actually used AKs and RPKs with badly bent barrels.

If I was you I would either sell the whole kit, or through the barrel out and install another barrel (preferably same country manufacture).

Good luck.
