We will need to reset prices. Chop off 2 zeros, at least. Russian did it twice during its 1990s hyperinflation. It is doable.
The issue of several times more "paper" gold circulating than then is physical gold in teh worls is different by realated. Paper investors will burn. Never buy paper PM. If you do not have it in your safe, you do not own it. Most of PM IRAs are scams.
Bulged RPK trunnion will not fit into the AKM receiver, not without a major deformation to the receiver. If he did that he screwed up royally. 1.5mm receiver has bulges for the oversized trunnion (except Chinese, they used 1.5mm receivers on their AKM, that's one of the main reasons why Century's Egypt/Sino mutt AKs are such clustershow)
Yugo AKs are different animals and should not be built by novice builders. It is more like building an RPK.
Jugoslavia built rifles in 8mm Mauser too (instead of 7.62x54r), so if he used 8mm barrel, he REALLY F-ed up.
There are multiple things that went wrong.
Yeah, he had never heard of an RPK. He did this thing before there were anywhere near the internet resources like we have now.
I didn't realize that ALL 1.5mm rcvrs were ALSO bulged. I thought maybe it went both ways.
The barrel thing was a brand new barrel that came with the 'virgin kit', and he pressed it in place before he realized it wasn't x39. Then he had to remove it, and find another barrel. Second barrel was a pulled barrel, and he still has the first one somewhere gathering dust.
At this point I wonder if he got a kit that was all made for 8mm Mauser, and stuck it in a receiver made for x39? Is there a difference in the parts other than the barrel?
Whatever the situation, I think he's lucky as hell he didn't blow it up when he fired a mag of x39 through it, and he knows it, and that's why he doesn't want to revisit the issue. Probably cost WAAAAYYY more than it's worth to fix it, amirite?
