Pressing barrel back in amd-65

[wtfprompt]

I'm planning to use the ak-builder barrel press kit to remove and install the barrel on an amd-65 parts kit I got. I found information on how to press the barrel out, but not much on pressing it back in. I'm wondering how you guys press the barrel back in? I saw this tutorial, but I'm not sure how I would protect the crown on the amd-65 using his method:

All copper pennies....pre 1974 or something like that....or aluminum, brass, any soft metal

You can protect the crown by using a piece of soft metal. People usually use pennies.

If you will be building more AKs then you should get one of these:

I'm not affiliated with the seller but this particular design is better than the 3 screw/bolt thing AK-Builder sells. It is available from www.gunthings.com as well.
