I have at least a few thond rounds through several different SKS Rifle Stocks rifles and have never experienced a slam fire.
Just realize that the possibility exists and maintain proper muzzle discipline and it should never be a problem.
Keep and eye out for them on gun broker also.

Ordered mine about a year ago and am still waiting on it. The company, Shernic Gun Works, said that they are behing but still shipping. I’m waiting patiently.

You seem to be set on the M14 Scope Mounts platform, and for your own personal desires, I think this is OK. I just hope you never have to make decisions for the US Military. Heck who am my kidding, the Military has full of decision-makers like you R0N [Team Member] 8/11/2010 5:25:55 AM Originally Posted By GeorgeCostanza:

Make sure you take the entire bolt apart once and awhile and actually clean out the channel and check for rust. Assuming you do that and don’t regularly shoot corrosive ammo through it without totally cleaning it out… you’ll be fine.
Just re what can happen when you drop the bolt on any gun and have it pointed downrange or into the dirt.
I’ve installed murray’s pins…Seems like a good idea but still won’t prevent it from happening if the the bolt gets filled with rust.

IMO and experience no mod is necessary. Proper and regular maintenance is all that is required. It has been my experience that SKS`s that were recently packed in grease were the worst culprit for slam fires. Here is where a complete bolt disassembly can help along with a good soaking in gasoline or kerosene and a rubdown with good ol` Dawn dish soap. Then rinse thoroghly, wipe dry, and immediately apply some Break Free CLP or any other higher grade gun oil. Happy Shots

The Murray firing pin actually looks a lot like the original SKS Rifle Stocks firing pin design.
