Hello,

I have a Chinese SKS-D, and was wondering if the bolt is supposed to stay open on last shot or if I can make it stay open. The reason I ask is that I have seen some videos where the bolt is in the open position and realized that mine cant do that. Thanks

Standard SKSs do have a bolt hold-open feature. SKS-Ds do not.

agreed however one US importer manage to install a pin that held back the carrier , the pin was push down manually .

btw: member ljungman also installed a pin to his carrier , he said it was no easy task .

Took me 3 days and 6 carbide drill bits to drill through the hardened steel on this Albainian bolt carrier. The regular chinese one might me softer. Mine works like a charm. It won't stay open on last shot but it will hold open when operated and allow the use of stripper clips.

Yugo AK 30/5 mags will do what you ask for. Their followers reach all the way up to the lips and will catch the bolt after the last round is ejected however the rear part of the follower will suffer over time unless you can reinforce it somehow. You can also modify any AK mag by removing the follower and grinding down 2 protrusions on the inside walls of the mag body which limit the upper travel of the follower.
