I bought a Romanian AK kit about a year and a half ago, from I.O. that was advertised as having a US barrel. There are no markings on it, and the odd thing about it is that the front trunnion is pressed onto it...but the old rivets are still in the trunnion. Seems odd that they would go thru the process of pressing and pinning on the trunnion without removing the old rivets? They could have just as easy (or easier) just thrown the "new" barrel in the box with the other parts. Also, are there any "buid partys" coming up soon? Thanks for any input.
