Never bought an AK or SKS perhaps my instincts were correct. Here are some photos of a Chinese SKS bolt which has fractured at the primer hole. Has anyone seen this before?
I researched a bit with few results. Common sence dictates this is a pecursor to a catistrophic failure requireing bolt replacement but curious as to the cause. Headspace issue? Chinese quality control (or lack there of)? Incluced are photos of the cracked bolt and rear mateing surfaces, bolt & reciever both of which look normal. The fireing pin floats normally and there is no evidince of a ruptured cace etc.. Input welcomed.
