I know this isn't a traditional AK site, but I know there is some real intelligent people around here, so here is my problem. I have a MAK 90 parts kit with original barrel. Once assembled I checked headspace, which I have done with a few other kits I have built and never had a problem, but this one is out by approx. .018. This is the first Chinese kit I have done. I am using standard Clymer gauges. I have found other kit to be a few over no go and never had a problem, but this seems to much to me.
So my questions is can this be right? If not how could it be out with an original barrel?
