Re: Fix a hole in an AK 47 barrel
Why don't you just cut the barrel? If the barrel is shorter than 16" can you find a flash suppressor long enough that you could have it permanently brazed or affixed on to make your barrel the required 16"? I don't recall if the flash suppressor is considered part of the barrel for "legal length" but if it's permanent, there's a little voice in my head that says "maybe....but look it up."

Re: Fix a hole in an AK 47 barrel
Do not mig the holes , a tig welder to spot those holes in would work fine and has been done thousands of times on rifle barrels with no effect. Talk to your smith ( who does tig work) and he will agree , hope it helps.

Thread it and put a barrel filler screw in it.

Re: Fix a hole in an AK 47 barrel
Get a pair of calibers and figure out the OD, outer diameter and the ID, inner diameter of the barrel. Then check the depth of your holes. This will tell you how close you are to actually going through, and into the barrel. Then report back. In my non professional opinion, that far down the barrel should be safe.
