Yugoslavian AK Barrels From Centerfire Systems

[SpeedRacer]

OK, at $13 each even the bad barrels are cool. Aside from owning an AK barrel, they make excellent clubs. You could beat to death an entire herd of baby seals with one of these puppies!

Or hit a tree with it!

On a side note, I was halfway serious about making a coffee table with some of the barrels.

My 2-year-old daughter picked up one of my shot-out and well-cleaned Yugo barrels, and said solemnly, "This is the most beautiful stick I have ever seen." My wife stared daggers at me, but I gave my little girl a big hug. That was three days ago. She still carries her "stick" around with her poking the cats and generally causing mischief.

A follow-on to this thread. Continuing in my "Buy em cheap and stack em deep." mentality I bought ten more of these barrels. All have pretty bad galling from being pressed out incorrectly (by Century probably). Five are in such good shape they look almost brand-new (on the inside at least) while two have slightly frosty bores. All seven of these have good crowns. The remaining three have bad bores. One might make a pistol build, but the other two are useless as gun barrels. At $133 I got seven good barrels.

I recommend this deal. I read a post recently from a guy who ordered three and only got one good barrel, but he still got a good barrel for $50. That's a hard deal to beat.

Stop it! ... I don't need more kits and I keep 'gettin the urge' every time you bump this thread!

Yep, that's what got me to buy up all these damned barrels. Right now after two showers I can still smell the cosmoline on my hands from cleaning them up. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... cosmoline.

Willing to sell me one of your good ones?

Since bambam did not reply these barrels will not AKM parts with some lathe/mill work. The journals are all too big to fit the fsb. gb, hg retainer, and rsb.

They will fit an akm trunnion.

These barrels are profiled like a 1970 spec ak (pre akm) not a 1975 akm

I bought one of these barrels as a test and it is ok, passes the bullet test at the muzzle but is a bit pitted. Hearing your success I think I will buy a few more, as I have a use for 4 of them...

Thanks for the heads up.

So what your saying is that the barrel (Yugo)is larger than the componants of a AKM but you cannot lathe them down to fit the parts?

 

[#1bambam]

I say you can and I have.You dont even have to worry about the old (Yugo) gas block hole.It gets covered by the AKM gasblock and you just drill a new one.

Hey #1bambam. How's it going?

I think what he was saying was that the parts don't fit "out da box", but the barrel has to be machined down to get the parts to fit, nez pas?

I haven't figured what specifically I'm going to do with these barrels, but whatever I do it's going to be fun! I suspect it has something to do with that bucket 'o parts in the shop.

Ill buy all your crap/useless/shotout/bad crown barrells. I kinda want to make a sweet stand for my bearded dragons terrarium. Send me a PM if you want to clear up some space on your work bench!

Yeah you know how it is with a 2 year-old. She pretty much plays the tune, and we dance. Not a lot of gun activities lately though

I stashed a few of the barrels because I believe some time yugo kits without barrels with be available, but so far that hasn't happened. It it happens I'll use flats, but if no kits come then oh well. Hmmmm.....I supose I could get a few flats to stash.
