Where to buy: SKS D firing pin

Armedsask, dont leave us hanging like that :)
Credit your sources, I'm not the only one who's made curious by your statement.
 
Good info on the firing pin. One question I can't find an anwer to though: if I wanted to replace the whole bolt, not just the firing pin, would any Norc SKS bolt from a place like Lever do? or will I have to hunt for a D - specific one?

The SKS-D bolt is narrower on the bottom to fit inbetween the mag lips of the AK mag, one would have to mill a regular SKS bolt down to fit properly on the D.
 
The D model has a shorter gas tube and piston too. The firing pin should be the same, but don't quote me. I'll have to check on that as I thought the bolts were interchangeable.
 
The D model is a completely different reciever, namely at the front of the mag well under the barrel. It has to be to use AK mags. As mentioned, the bolt is narrower. You can use a regular SKS bolt in a D, but it won't work with the mags.

I thought it was obvious. :rolleyes:

Not true. The older models with the spike bayonet had standard gas tubes.
The newer ones without bayonet have shorter gas tubes. I own both of them.
