im buying a new barrel for my bulgarian AK-74.. im actually converting this to 5.56, and taking some steps to make it more accurate.. (yes, AKs can be pretty accurate with good ammo and better barrels)
so anyway, i was wondering if someone know the barrel diameters of the AK-74 at the trunnion, rear sight block, gas block, and front sight, as well as the same dimensions for the RPK-74 rifle so that i can compare them to the medium and heavy contours of the AR15 to determine what size contours i can use on this AK
AK barrels are very, very light contour, many of them are not of the greatest quality either, so since im converting to a new cartridge anyway, i might as well upgrade to a better barrel while im at it
