    Friend cut off the Barrel of a Norinco, now it shoots 2 feet left at 100 yards!

    Should he have a new Barrel installed, and I took it apart, found the Receiver band not flush on both sides, does that mean the pin is bent! Got to get this fixed, need some suggestions! Please!!!
    He cut off the front 1/2" flush with the front sight! and would a picture help?

    Pictures always help.

    Did he recrown the barrel properly or just lop the end off with a saw and maybe file it a bit?
    I'm putting my dollar on the saw btw.

    Ten-32 has a good question too...
    His name bubba?

    Side note, he might want to break out the tape measure and cut a metal rod to exactly 16 inches.
    Drop it in the barrel with the bolt all the way closed.
    If the rod sticks out at all, he just made an illegal SBR.
    Just sayin... A half inch can cost you 10.

    Try recrowning it first then you'll know if you need a new barrel.

    And I thought the video thread was the worst one I'd look at tonight...

    Your "friend" screwed up. If that (and it likely is) a 16" barreled AK, he owns a federal felony...
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    Get the rifle fixed immediately. AK and AKM rifles usually have 16 inch barrels.... your "friend's" rifle probably now has an illegal "less than 16 inch" barrel which will land him in Club Fed for 10 years or so.

    Take the rifle to a gunsmith to have it fixed, don't take any pictures, don't post any pictures, don't tell anyone... just get it fixed immediately.
