| While bumping my new AK the Bolt Carrier has come part way out of the right side rail.Both times it has locked up and Ive had to remove the cover and slap the top of the carrier to get it to go back into the rails.Is there a fix to keep this from happening or is it something I should worry about?Its not a real big deal to me because it just takes a sec to fix but Id like to square it away if I can.Also where can I get a that piece of sprind steel that goes into the bottom handgaurd to keep it tight.Someone had installed a US Furniture set allready but they didnt put that piece in.Bugs the shit out of me.Man if Id have known the Dark Side was such a blast Id have shipped the whole AR mess and bought a couple AKs instead.Later,45B10 |
| No I just have one AK right now but thats gonna change hopefully the 14th and 15th of December.Theyre having a funshow about 50 miles from here and Im taking my PreBan AR to try and trade for a UnderFolder.Ive took my AR out on my last 3 trips and havent fired a single round out of it.The Dark Side has claimed another memeber thats for sure.Thanks,45B10 |
| If by "piece of spring steel" you mean the flat tension spring that sits in the front of the handguard and pushes the forend back, there is none in any of the Chinese guns. That's a mod that was incorperated in late model Euro AKMs only. If your replacement forend is moving back and forth, put a glob of epoxy putty around the front tenon of the forend, so the front band will push it back, or better yet, get a new Chinese foreend to replace the replacement. TAPCO sells them, brand new, for $9.99 (part no. AK2204) |
Go to redstar arms page and get this:
www.redstararms.com It will shorten your bolt travel just enough to keep it from jumping out of its groove. |

"Also where can I get a that piece of sprind steel that goes into the bottom handgaurd to keep it tight.Someone had installed a US Furniture set allready but they didnt put that piece in.Bugs the shit out of me." k-var may have some extra tension spring plates. give them a call. |
