What kind of durability does the reduced nub of polymer have after repeated and prolonged use?

No issues. The engagement surface between the mag and block is larger than the original.

Hi guys. I received my mag latch and mag block from you guys. The mag release is amazing. Bar far the best upgrade to my SKS. I am however having an issue with the mag block. I have a 1951 Tula Arsenal all matching serial numbers SKS and when I attach the mag block, the end that the mag would hook onto lifts off the receiver. I initially tightened the bolt hand tight, then tried torquing it down a little harder. With the bolt tight, I can still move the latch end of the block towards and away from the receiver. Is this normal/common? I not going to cut off my duck bills just yet.

Nope that's not normal or common. With it tightened down you shouldn't be able to easily lift it off, but you can pull it up a bit. It should spring back and there should be no gap. I wonder if the lug on your barrel is a different size. I've heard of some early SKS rifles being made to a slightly different spec. Nothing looks bent or out of place in your picture. How is your lock down bolt? Its it straight? If everything is locked down tight and is not moving that gap shouldn't be an issue.

Here's a pic of the block on my 1953 Tula

There you have it. 51's are just a special snow flake...

I have it figured out. I need the bevel on the under side of the bolt head to make contact with the riffle. Right now the flat part is making contact and that's causing the block to lift. I need to get the bolt in a lathe or drill press, spin it up (without damaging the threads) and use a file to change the angle of bevel on the bolt so it makes contact with the riffle:

Yeah that could work. If you screw up your bolt or anything let us know. I can send you a few spares.

So probably over 1 000 000 special snow flakes....
