Sks broken bolt help

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Not very common, but there are a handful or two which have been reported over the years. No remedy except a new bolt and a headspace check.

That is where I am headed. New bolt (who knowes if Chinese Russian Yugo etc.. )is avaliable fpr $35 lets hope it headspaces correctly as it seems as though correcting headspace is a chore left to an SKS expert from the reading I have done. Still curious as to the cause.
This is a good example of why you should always inspect a milsurp before shooting it.

First I've ever seen. Usually very stout weapons.

Pretty cute little gun. It is one of the Navy Arms Cowboy Companion "Paratrooper Carbines" sans bayonet imported during the late unplesantness.I even has the side saddle scope mount. Fingers crossed on the headspace.
I remember the adds for these & the FR7 & FR8s seems as though cheap Pickup Truck guns were all the rage in the 90s.
