I could see a use for one. I've got a populated SGL31 barrel that will be stripped and used for another build. Can take those pinned components, move over to one of these, combine with some leftover AKM parts and maybe Magpul furniture to make one heck of a nice shooter.

These barrels have been around for a long time. In 5.56 and 7.62. They have an AK47 pattern RSB., standard AK 74 HGR, standard AK72 GB placement and journal and designed for an AK74 FSB or for the smaller journal type 3 look a like FSB that Bulgarian used.
Same basic barrel but cut a bit different at the front end and turned down to .535"at the muzzle..

They are nice barrels but have been on sale before at $150-$175 or at places like Knob Creek for $125. They are odd ball in configuration but can work for various builds.
