Sks custom barrel questions

Well let me tell you what happend I was using my laser down the barrel and forgot it in after I sighted in my scope. I fired a shot and thank god I am still alive but the barrel has a ring around the spot that the laser bore rubber was.

We fired several shot down the barrel afterwards but I was not using the scope only the iron sights at 100 meter so it was all over the place
 
The threads on the yugo and chinese guns are pitched and spaced the same. But getting it properly seated, indexed and head-spaced will be a very long and labor intesive project. Not to mention machining AND properly aligning the extractor cut on the chamber face.

The Yugo barrels are essentially factory new, mostly unfinished barrel blanks-- un-indexed, with still perfectly round shanks with no upper or lower lug flats and IIRC no gas port hole.

By the time the work is done, the time and money you'll have invested may have you thinking you ought to have held out on finding a LNIB Chinese gun, with a pristine, CHROME-lined bore.

USA-based member, Loose-Cannon, has installed one of the Yugo barrels on a Chinese type56 receiever. He knows several others who have done the same. If you've got the tools, the knowlege and the time, it would be worth asking him for some advice on how to proceed.
 
Oh man, hahaha damn that sucks.

This is what you mean by dont as me how in the other thread!

Im sorry but I did chuckle at your misfortune a little bit!

Id say just keep it as a parts gun.
 
Whoops,
Sometimes there are mistakes that cost us another $189 to $300 + tax + a new laser.

I wouldn't bother with the barrel. If the mark is permanent and won't come out with cleaning and the ammo is flying all over (more than before) keep or sell the gun for parts. Unless it has sentimental value thank your lucky stars that you ruined one of the cheapest guns available.

this was quite the hit for me it was a pristine chinese chrome lined....the mark is more than a mark its become an indent ring, im going to take it to a local gun smith to let me know just how bad it is. I might try taking my tornado bush down the barrel too.

I remember seeing those rifles a while back and they did look nice. Too bad,
if it makes you feel any better I used to work for a guy when I was working at the racetrack who has a small pond on his property that he and his family/friends skate and play hockey on in the winter. It is a shallow pond. At centre ice is a Beautiful Green John Deer tractor with the dump bucket and lawnmower attached.... lol I'd rather a ring on my rifle. They are rich people so money isn't the issue. His wife won't let him haul it out so every winter his family can give him a hard time for the day he got too drunk and feel asleep driving the tractor. I think a landscaper does the lawn now.

If the ring is too far from the muzzle to chop and recrown legally, how about counterboring the muzzle? Basically just have the rifling drilled out so the ring doesn't affect the bullet.
