I'm getting ready to purchase a Yugo M72 barrel for an AMD-65 kit I have that didn't come with a barrel. I have been told I will need to shrink the Barrel shank to fit my variant of trunnion but I also need the barrel diameters of the M72 at the gas block, front sight block, and what specific gas tube should I get to fit it? I'm having a hard time finding M72 gas tubes. So if anyone can either show me a link to the M72 barrel blueprints/factory specs, or even a picture comparing an M72 barrel to a regular AK47 variant will help me. I just need to know some dimensions on the barrel so i can know if I will need to buy a new front sight to fight around the bigger barrel.

Or I can scrap the M72 barrel plan if someone knows of a cheap Romanian RPK barrel, that'd take less work then the thick M72's barrel. I can't seem to find any under $130

I found this website but unfortunately they dont have the barrel diameter at the front sight block

APEX isa good people. they have used M70 barrels cheap with dark bores, but i believe they are not a straight bolt on. the last link is to new romanian pattern USｂａｒｒｅｌｓ　ａｔ　＄１００．　ｃｈｅｃｋ　ｏｕｔ　ｔｈｅｉｒ　ｋｉｔｓ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｆｉｒｓｔ　ｌｉｎｋ．
