This tool is used to remove the barrel from a AK trunnion that is removed from the receiver and install a barrel into a trunnion that has been riveted to the receiver. The tool kit consists of the following parts: Left Trunnion Retaining Jaw and Right Trunnion Retaining Jaws, Bolt Plate, Driving Bolt, Brass Ram, and Nuts.
The ideal interference fit between the barrel shank OD and trunnion bore ID is .0005" to .001"
.0015" is the maximum interference fit. A larger interference fit could damage the barrel.
Note: This tool is the standard barrel tool and is used for most AK rifles. The bulged barrel removal and install tool is used only for AK rifles with bulged trunnions the barrel tools must be used with their respective trunnions and are not interchangeable.
The front lips on the jaws of the tool are meant for location purposes only, they do not hold the receiver in place while using the tool. The receiver is held in place with clamping pressure, which is achieved with a vise that has parallel jaws and adequate rigidity to clamp the receiver in place. If the trunnion is slipping in the jaws proper clamping pressure is not achieved or your barrel is seized to the trunnion.
Made in the USA
