AIMS 74 TO 556/223 Smith needed.


Recommended Posts

Hello all.

AK-Builder is out of their AIMS barrel clones, so...

I was wondering if there was a smith that could help me.

I wanted to convert Romanian AIMS to 556/223. I have it as a 762 Childers receiver and AIMS 74 barrel right now and just need the proper 556/223 barrel installed. The barrel still has the sights and all from the 74 AIMS.

Thank you.

I cant help you with the barrel install but I can warn you of some possible issues with the conversion. I worked on a couple 5.56 guns years ago and both issues were the bolt head was not able to pick up cartridges reliable out of the magazines due to all the slop in the bolt heads. The 5.56 rim in the mag is a much smaller target for the edge of the bolt head to pick up and too much AK typical bolt slop will some times skip over it or let go of it as it starts moving it out of the mag. So, be sure you have minimum fit between the mag feed lips and bolt face travel path. Some bolt & carrier combinations are just too loose for this to run 100 percent.
