What fits on a romanian build?

I'm trying to build a romanian ak from scratch. Would an AMD 65 barrel fit on a romanian trunnion? What about a yugoslavian one? Does anyone know a list of barrel compatibility?

Hello & Welcome
To basically answer your questions, Yes. The Romy, AMD (Hungarian) and Yugo barrels will fit the same trunnion.
Here's thing from the library but it's not complete, I think HCPookie has one on his site.

Now remember these things, the AMD65 barrel is shorter then 16" so before you mount it in the trunnion permanently add an extension to it, if you go with a Yugo barrel make sure it has all the stuff that goes on it (sights, gas block ect.) because these barrels are a little larger diameter, and the piston is longer so you'll have to mount the right sized piston or have one made.
Looking at a lot of work, hope its not your 1st build
Mixed commie parts is where the fun begins.
Get a digital caliper and you are on your way.
the piston is longer so you'll have to mount the right sized piston or have one made.
The piston is the same length on Yugo and a Romy, but the rear sight block is wider on the Yugo.
Thanks Sid, I was misinformed about something again. :D
