I'm changing out the wood stocks on a friends yugo sks for the tactical plastic stuff.  He has a scope mounted on the dust cover and every time I go to pull the bolt back I take a hunk of skin off my thumb from hitting the front of the optic.  I've done some research and can't seem to find a extended bolt.  I'm not even sure if there's such a thing on the market or not, any suggestions

I think your best bet is a weld on, something like the Tromix Galil style weld on or maybe an extended Albanian SKS charging handle style?

You could also drill a hole and tap threads and then use a bolt to fab a custom charging handle.

I would recommend picking up a spare bolt carrier to do the modding to.

Might I recommend a better way.  Grasp the charging handle, Palm up.

Use your pinky. It seems appropriate given the mods you've described to the rifle.

you have to understand, having been down the tacticool sks road and back again, one can become bitter about it
