AFAIK The AK was/is made in many factories all over the world not just in the USSR or Putainia.

How are the barrels fixed on an AK?
That is about the only hard work in assembly of an AR type rifle.
(The video did concentrate on the assembly benches with little time spent on component fabrication. I would like to see the tooling that presses and processes the receivers.)
Did I miss that part?
Heated and "forged" with a shovel for material and a BBQ? as a heat source?Years ago, when AK kits came into the US sans receiver, there was a glut of learning how to properly rivet, and a call for specific sized rivets. Used to make the rivets on a CNC lathe, and milled forming dies for bending stamped 80% flats.
Literally, so easy a caveman can do it.
Earlier variants with milled receivers were screwed. The later stamped sheet metal receivers (AKM) had the barrel pinned to a milled trunnion that was riveted to the stamping.
