Im looking to cut down a 20in barrel to 16 and get it recrowned. Its a Maadi RPM. Anyone know of a place or someone that can help me out
Thanks Chris |
I live in the dells,but to be honest I dont know enough about AK type rifles.I know its not particularly easy to just remove the barrel and I dont think the reciever will fit in my spindle bore which is 1 5/8 and my bore is to long to hang the reciever out the ass end.If you are just lookin to get it cut down and not threaded a good machinist could probably do it on a mill the crown would be a little tricky,but it could be done. I do have acces to a lathe that the reciever would fit in but that thing is a bear,seriuosly it has a 22" 6 way with a 108" bed and 3 1/2 to 4in spindle bore. I have to use a fork lift or engine lift just to put the damn steady rest on it .I think Flamethrower is over your way he might be able to do it.

I would not recommend cutting a 20" barrel, there are not that many of these around to be chopped. This. |
