Hey guys, I runined my bolt carrier trying to install a new piston. I can't find a single bolt carrier for sale other than the $100 ones from K-Var.

Any info?

The only other place I can think of is the EE. Just keep an eye out, one will turn up eventually.

Yeah bro. Make sure you drill out one side of the pin completely. Iguess I left some of the peened metal which required me to thwack the pin so hard I slightly bent the treaded end of the carrier. Sucks cause I got a good deal on a used AMD bolt whichi was switching out the piston to full size on. But that's life, live and learn. Ever since I did my first Saiga 12 conversion I've been jumping in on projects like this. Sometimes I get too excited and I don't pay attention. But at least ak stuff is relatively inexpensive, if you can find it.

Good luck with your piston!
