Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Time to replace the AK bolt?
Posted: 4/17/2018 10:54:01 PM EDT
Last few times I ran my AK, small pieces of primer are getting stuck between the bolt and firing pin. I'm thinking that means it's time to replace the bolt. Or would a new firing pin cover it?
If I do replace the bolt, who makes the best bolts out there. Apex has Polish, East German, Romanian and Yugo.
Any recommendations on how to proceed are appreciated.

Who's the manufacturer?

Well, it's a Valmet M-78 but it was converted to auto and 7.62x39 from 308 in 86. Everything on it is Valmet accept the bolt. It takes a standard AK bolt.

I would use east german or polish, and check the headspace.

Are those bolts better quality? I was thinking Yugo just because they're stainless and easier to clean.
