Life around the Dirt house must be interesting. And we are obviously not referring here to what, in the southern vernacular, we used to call "close as a Red C*** Hair".Dirtalert said:Winn,
If you are referring to Rapunzel's hair, then yes you are correct. :smile:
You should have heard the 20 ton press groan and creak and then the horrible sound of flying steel and crashing glass.
As always thanks for the help and advice.

Dirt,
Where are you getting the RPK wood??
I don't know but I tried to press it in further again today same thing.gtbehary said:Dirt,
Is it possible that the barrel is in the whole way, but the breech block isnt designed for a 5.45 x 39 bolt face?? Just a thought. Maybe there is just too much room in the locking lug area.

I just got off the phone with Andre from Global. I was asking him questions about his new 23mm trunions. He said that it wont work with the AK-74 barrel because it is machined for the 7.62 bolt, not the 5.45. I guess if the locking lugs are smaller on the 5.45 and it will not headspace correctly. He said the barrel must be turned down and the original AK-74 trunion must be used wit the AK-74 bolt.

If this is the case, have you checked to see if the trunnion push block is hitting the rear sight base causing the hangup?? When I did my build this is what was stoping the bbl from going in all the way..
