Akm Build Question Do You Prefer To Use The Original Barrel Pin And If it's the og barrel that was originally mated to that specific trunnion, press it in super straight and send it with a nos pin. or reuse the original pin if it's not galled or scored. if it's a new barrel or an oem barrel from a mix match kit, i always ream them for the oversize 0.302" pin. 1 4 inch end mill followed with 7mm reamer and pin it. works every time. best to use a good drill press and vice or mill to cut with the end mill from both sides carefully then ream with a good hand drill with lots of cutting oil. never reverse the reamer.

Tarkov Akm Build Akm building questions & considerations. greetings comrades! you may remember me because i was here last year sometime because i had a soviet akm kit that i was wanting to build. anyway, i've decided to wait on that because before i do anything i want to ensure i know my a$$ from a hole in the ground when it comes to the russian akm. So i just headspaced a pre populated barrel into a non matching trunnion. i took a couple pics so you can see how far it’s off. luckily for me, it’s not off by much and an oversized barrel pin will do the job nicely. this is a 1978 romy g barrel that i pressed out of a trunnion, and then pressed it into a different trunnion that i want to. Here are a few things to look for when selecting an akm at wade’s eastside guns. rivets: the ak is a rifle designed to be mass produced. rivets were chosen instead of milling the receiver to save time, money, and material during the fabrication process. when checking rivets, make sure they look like a dome over the receiver. The ak builder riveting jig properly supports and forms rivets for the front and rear trunnion and can dimple the akm’s lower front trunnion holes painlessly. our akm kit came with forged trunnions, as do nearly all military surplus parts kits. the demilling process is a bit like a slaughterhouse for guns, though.
