I ended taking a Dremel and gently rounding out the notch in the barrel. It is still really tough to do, but at least I don't have to use enough force to bend the pin/lever to get it back in.
I am currently working on the handguards right now. I've applied two coats of stain and the first coat of protectorant will go on tonight.
I've got a muzzle booster and detent pin on order from CNC Warrior.
The problem that I am having now, and it is one that I have never hand on an AK before, is getting the safety removed. There is a tab extending from the base of the trigger group that does not let me rotate the safety out of its place.
Not sure how to get around it. I will see if I can post some pictures of it later tonight.
