I think I really like this AK barrel pressing process

So my AK buildong journey continues and I’ve got to say that I really like the process of pressing, headspacing and pinning barrels to trunnions. Is it as easy and idiot proof as an AR? No. but from the DIY perspective this is the process! If you have a mill and can make your own trunnions like I theoretically could, this is a great method.

That's been my experience as well. It's much easier to press a barrel in. Rather than making threads on it with a lathe.
