sks bolt (lower)

[thunderhand]

Does anyone know where i can get a bolt for a Russian sks. SKSman is sold out and Marstar is sold out as well .
I have not found anywhere else to get em.

I only need the bolt (lower) not the carrier. I wish to modify it so that I can insert the tapco mag without having the bolt open and
i don't want to mess with the original.

any suggestions appreciated.

Someone else more knowledgeable should chime in, but I do not think the bolts are drop in items. I think they need to be sized to the firearms.

There are a few different bolt designs that come out over the year, but they are "fairly" consistent across the board. What year/make is your sks?

If you check lever arms they may have a bolt in stock or maybe westrifle.

If your feeling risky try Lever Arms

Is say just do the mod it's fairly straight forward. If you sks is a shooter it's not gonna be much of a collectible anyways.

SKS Stripped Bolt Body - Chinese made at lever arms, mine is Russian, don't remember the year.
not sure if Chinese and Russian are compatible. I figured better luck with Russian of different years.
You figure the Chinese should work ?? I may end up doing that Roussy06 , its a second sks i purchased to mod
kept one all original wood .

Late russian bolts in theory are compatible with chinese bolts. Look in the sks sticky to see when they changed the bolt and bolt carrier.

When changing bolts head-space will
need to be checked with gauges.
