At least it's not a Del-Ton true dissipator. The midlength gas system on these is perfect.Also, fuck you guys and your dissy's. Got me looking on PSA website like damn, I could have a complete dissy for just over $500...

Mine arrived with circle HG jammed into a triangle end cap. Got the triangle HGs from @Red Dawn, popped em in no trouble.
Gotta have the triangle front HG cap.
@gaigeboyd might need one?
I’ve got a buddy who built his AK about 8 years ago from an 80% receiver and a “virgin Yugo parts kit”. He couldn’t get it to headspace consistently, and made a mess of the whole thing. I’ve only seen it once about 7 years ago, he fired it once then threw it in the back of the safe. Apparently he messed up a couple of the rivets in the kit, had to finish it with screws, and the barrel was chambered for something other than x39, plus the company he bought the kit from was out of business by the time he realized, so he had to buy another barrel from elsewhere.
Now his opinion of all AKs is that they never will headspace. He tried his gauge in a few AKs at a shop and had similar results.
Any idea why he’s have these issues? I thought maybe he had a kit that needed a 1.5 mm receiver and he put a 1mm receiver on it, maybe that would be a problem? I asked, and he didn’t know there was a difference.
There's a lot going on there, lol. I think @Jeddak pointed out already the bulged yugo trunnion will not fit in a standard akm receiver. Regardless of thickness the trunnion bulges would never slide into a standard receiver. Just speculating but if he pressed in a barrel other than x39 and tried to headspace with x39 gauges not realizing the barrel wasn't x39 it wouldn't headspace. If the new barrel wouldn't headspace then possibly he had an oversize trunnion or barrel and the interference fit wasn't in tolerance enough for a proper fit(barrel easily moving or too tight to make small adjustments). As far as bad rivets that's easily remedied by drilling them out and squashing some new ones in. I'm curious as to how he was using the gauges to check other rifles, they either spec or they don't. Gauges are pretty straight forward. When I build a rifle i use a micrometer to check all the journals before pressing in barrels or populating to be sure of proper interference fit.
You'll do it if you want to be part of Fight Club
I'm doing good just to load and fire my AK.
Hopefully @Jeddak can answer your question.
See how that got buried and no one responded?
This guy gets itI'm old, fat, and out of shape. I don't want any part of a fight club, lol. I carry a gun because I'm too old to fight back and too fat to run away.

I usually do too but recently I put wood on the triangle I’m digging it

Yeah, I'm not sure about any of that, but your guess is far better than mine!
I've only really 'built' AR type rifles and a couple 10/22s, so to me all of this is WAY beyond the tools I've got. At BEST I'm an armorer, but I wouldn't insult real gunsmiths by saying I was one.
I'd love to see how building one of these goes, though! Seems like an interesting process akin to swordsmithing!
