There is no bolt-locking device on an AK-47. That is about the only negative I can see on that rifle. My Romanian AK will partially lock open as you stated, and then slam closed with a slight bump. Does your AK lock open when the bolt is completely to the rear? Mine will only lock open if I pull it all the way to the rear and "ride" the bolt forward slightly. It's probably just loose tolerances in the piston/gas tube area, I'm not sure. There should be no problem with firing it.

Alot of people dremel tool a small notch into the safety lever to keep it open.You can also buy after market safety levers that have a bolt hold open notch for around $24. www.deltapress.com has them under the catergory "AK-47 manuals", in their pull down menu for that price. 0 -
If you'll take off the receiver cover and watch as you slowly draw back the bolt and piston assembly you'll notice the only thing that holds your bolt to the rear is the spring pressure exerted by the now cocked hammer,where the shaft of the hammer presses up against the bottom of the bolt. This pressure may vary from gun to gun and I suspect I am fortunate in that I must put my thumb on the rear of the receiver cocking spur and push foward to get the bolt to slam foward and seat.Be carefull to keep your fingers out of the way if you investigate this by reaching in with a pencil/screwdriver or some other item and press down on the hammer cause that bolt and rod will fly foward with all the force exerted by the return spring. Better yet take out the return spring and do your investigating until you are satisfied that you know how it works. 0 -
SPTigerYou asked about bolt locking device on the AK. You can take out your safety lever and file a notch in it so that you can push the lever up so that the cocking handle fits into the notch. Here's how I did it today on my Romanian AK. 1-Disassemble your rifle2-Rotate the safety lever upwards until it loosens from the receiver and you can wiggle it out to the right.Do this slowly so you can see where it releases from the receiver and the amount of rotation needed to get it to the place where it comes loose.It'll be over 90 degrees from the fire position.3-You'll know where the notch needs to be filed by pulling the bolt back to the position where it is held by the hammer shaft,that's where you file the slot in the safety lever so it will eventually cup around the front and rear of the cocking handle.4- The only tricky part is reinserting the safety lever into the receiver. I had to release the hammer full foward so the safety lever would go back in without bending or breaking anything. Be sure to hold something against the front of the hammer when you release it or it'll slam foward and might damage something.You may have to take the safety lever out several times to file it until you get the notch exactly the width and depth you want.Hope this helps and I haven't completely confused the issue.As I said, I did mine today and it works fine and I like the added safety that it provides. BTW, I think you can go to some of the AK accessories sites and see an example of a safety lever with a notch in them. 0 -
