Who can make an Ar barrel from an Ak barrel in 5.45
Hello! Looking for anyone/ any company that will turn a barrel blank or chambered AK barrel and make it into an Ar barrel with pinned extension. any good references?

Stimpy on FALfiles did one long ago, before all of the commercial ones. You're better off just buying one, it's more work/money to make one outta an AK barrel than a new one is.
does anyone make a press-fit barrel extension as opposed to a threaded one?
I have never seen one. I've heard about them from some of the members here. I'd think it would be a bad idea as there isn't much meat there to pin it. CDNN has extensions on sale right now for $10. The barrel would need to be threaded .8125" (13/16") x 16 UNF for the extension.
it has been done. i know of several built back when they were no ar-15 barrels in 5.45x39
now days you can get stripped one for $100 that has the barrel extension set up and head-spaced. so there is not much demand to convert ak barrels anymore.
