I have Century AK-74 "Bulgarian" rifle that needs a new barrel. The original POS barrel shot out fast, so I replaced it with a $50 U.S one from a Centerfire systems sale. This was a <$350 rifle, so I didn't want to put a $250+ Bulgarian barrel on it.
However...the $50 US barrel had the wrong twist rate and keyholed, so I have to take the damn thing apart again. I also had to knurl the barrel slightly so I probably have a oversized trunnion, which makes me leary of putting a $275 KVAR barrel on it.
I'm leaning towards the Green Mountain barrel, since I've used their blanks with good luck in the past on other projects. With shipping it will be close to $200.
Any thoughts?
