AK Bolt Problem
quote:Originally posted by fivefivesix
Sitting here with my friend and his new Romanian WASR and he is explaining his problem to me. After cycling the action to load a new round, the bolt / bolt carrier sticks in place with about 1/2" of space where the bullet is in the barrel. You can cycle the action again and the rifle will eject the round, and I am not sure of the rifle's ability to fire because neither one of us want to fire the rifle in this condition. He installed a new handguard and pistol grip, but has replaced the old equipment but with no solution. I hope my explanation makes enough sense so that someone might be able to help us, since we are stuck as to what the solution might be. Thanks for any help.

get a hammer and beat on the back of bolt and bolt handle, once it is all the way forward, beat back again and repeat the process several times, eventually everything will get bent into place, start with a normal drywall hammer, if this doesnt work you can up it to a 3 lb sledge or 10 lb if needed, ak can take the punishment

Frankly, I'd be afraid, VERY AFRAID of a double fire![:o)][:o)][:o)]

Not far off the mark. I handled an AK once that had it's bolt frozen in the forward position due to such heavy corrosion on the gas piston.
I found that the immediate action drill for this contains four steps:
I kicked the bolt open with a boot heel, inserted a loaded magazine, cycled the bolt to chamber a round, slammed the bolt completely closed with the heel of my hand and then emptied the mag without a hiccup.0 -
I like the dryness and tone of his advice. 0 -
That advice is for an sks, not an AK. 0
