First off, Let me say a Hearty Thanks to Axemurderer, HE did me a big boost, for the Rifle bolt to replace mine..It broke the safety lug while i was firing it to check the scope..it was converted to a carry rifle in 7.62x39 russian, by some shady gunsmiths..they turned down a p14 .303 rifle barrel , turned down the bolt, and tapped the top for a mount..the work was not real pretty, but did not cost a premium either. Shady, in that they did not set head space correctly..naturally i flunked at checking it too, AFTER-ALL, that Peanut russian round is so small, in comparison to the 8mm, or the 30-06, or .308w...Who thought it had the power to crack a bolt, Yes the bolt could be 100 years old...When i checked it againest the newer bolt it showed its age..Anyway, going to be fitting and checking the old FN warhorse a lot, before popping more rounds...I wised up just a little more, as always be careful when shooting, IMHO..Og.
