| I am looking at putting my milled AK parts kit together with my NOS SLR-100 receiver. I put the bolt and bolt carrier on the receiver and the bullet guide is keeping the bolt from closing. I have been reading up on the assembly and multiple sources have said that a new bullet guide requires fitting to the bolt in order for it to close. My kit came with a bullet guide that appears to have been fitted already. Can I use this or will I need to fit the new bullet guide to my bolt. This is my first milled build. |

Here is a photo of the bullet guide, the one that came in the kit has more space between the flat part and the "ramp". http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u266/poorman_photo/IMG_3221.jpg Yeah, that bullet guide looks like it was never fit to any bolt. I would probably remove it and try it with the guide that came with your kit. Sucks that you have to remove a factory installed guide, since I think they're a PITA to install and have look good, but it's not impossible. |

Yeah, this receiver has never been used so it makes sense that the bullet guide was never fit to a bolt. I will try the bullet guide from my kit. Thanks

Thanks Before you go drilling it out I would at least exhaust all other attempts at making it work as is. Just don't damage anything.

I plan on doing just that, I am going to make very sure I do not do any damage. |
