Why not just buy a new barrel?

Are you in the East Bay, as in by San Francisco, or the South Bay as in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach?

If you’re in Southern California, ask Randall (ar15barrels) if he can do it.

Swapping out barrels on an AK is no simple task.
It's far easier to shorten and thread the existing one than to move a new barrel into all the old barrel parts.

What you are suggesting is like suggesting that someone replace their bicycle's rims and spokes because the tires are worn out.

I'm in the San Francisco Bay area. It's not as easy as just buying a barrel and swapping it out.
