I wanted to know where I could get a replacement bolt assembly for a sks. To the best of my knowledge its made of mostly russian parts, but I identified possible yugo bolt carrier, gas tube and wooden stock. So, will any assembly work? Should I get a russian made one, a yugo, or will any work? I am a new sks gun owner with limited knowledge, but have read some pages and identified this as such to the best of my knowledge. Thanks

IIRC the parts are interchangeable, unless you have an albanian sks, so i believe that any bolt carrier ***'y would work. somebody correct me if i'm wrong.Reason has seldom failed us because it has seldom been tried

Try this place. What part needs to be replaced? What type of SKS do you have? There is a bit of a differance from country to country.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.

Thanks for the replys...This is a mostly russian made except I believe the stock, gas tube, bolt carrier, and reciever cover are possibly yugo made. again I am new to sks and am going off of information I have read. I understand the firing pins differ slightly, but was going to use a murphys pin in near future anyway. So are the bolts interchangable or how would I approach finding a replacement? Do I buy a russian one or yugo one, not concerned with c&r, its just going to be a target shooter. ThanksComment

If your carrier is a Yugo but the receiver is Russian, I would try to match the carrier. You must be talking about Ben Murrary's firing pin kit. It works great, (want to know about slam-fire just ask) and if you can find some time give Ben a call. Good guy and full of knowlege. Ben also has a F.C.G. "kit" that he sells, it will drasticlly improve the SKS's crap trigger.
Check out the numrich link I posted earlier, if you want to have matching parts they sell them.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.

I have a few sks yugos and the bolts are not drop in toeeach other. They get suck . I belive some filing would fix it. They look the same just need some hand fitting to work.Rancho Punetas CaliforniaComment

The SKS bolt is locked in place by a locking shoulder at the back of the bolt, very much so like the FAL. I sure as heck would not file on it to make it fit and you may really want to consider checking the headspace on it if you swap around bolts. It may be overkill and then again.....
