Pistol

These directions are for the advanced builder who already has
successfully built and refinished a standard size AK. This project
requires lathe turning, milling, threading, welding, and silver
soldering. This tutorial does not cover riveting, headspacing, barrel
pressing, or wood and metal refinishing.
While the NFA restricts the minimum length of a rifle barrel to 16″,
there is no maximum length for a pistol barrel. Therefore we can
manufacture an AK style firearm with a barrel shorter than 16″ so
long as it does not have a shoulder stock (SBR) or front pistol grip
(AOW).
