You may want to add a gusset to that cylinder bracket in addition to the ribs on the base. The way it is now will be asking a lot of your welds.

I've never seen a barrel pressed into a receiver. What kind of rifle is it?

Romanian RPK although I'm putting the Barrel into a Romanian AK47 front truninion. I know on the gussets all thats holding it on at the moment is two one inch welds on the ends of the uprights.

Just about all the Eastern Block Infantry shoulder weapons use a press fit and a pin to keep things together cheap and fast if you get their reasoning.

this setup sure makes the job a lot easier then the vertical way I did the first one.
