You can get a chamber adapter that basicall installs with locktite, and that would be OK for range use I guess.
I bought a new barrel chambered for 7.62x39 but never installed it on my rifle before I sold them. I still have the barrel if anyone is interestedin getting it. Installation would involve complete disassembly of the rifle (including gas sleeve and bushing) pressing out the barrel pin, pressing out the old barrel, pressing in the new barrel, headspacing, pressing in the barrel pin, and reassembling the rifle. Nothing an amatuer with the right tools ( a 20 ton press, vise, and some wrenches) couldn't do iin an afternoon.
