I didn't realize bolt buffers were an option. I've got a suppressor on my SKS, but the bolt is hugely loud so anything I can do to make that quieter would be awesome. I'll have to look into it.

yup they are an option, i put one in my 10/22 it made a little difference i think.... but the recoil of the sks will be a lot harsher so should make a good difference i would hope! found this link too for doing trigger work as the trigger on these creep like hell and sometimes it takes less or more trigger pull to engage the sear. Vote For David: DIY: SKS Trigger Job Instructions (Improve the Trigger on an SKS Carbine) might look at that mod next weekend as i fitted the peep sight today

Cheers I'll have to take a look at that.
Hey I take it you removed the rear leaf sight to install the tech sight? You got any ideas on what to do to keep the operating rod spring from getting stuff in it? Mine is uncovered since I took the rear sight off. It got in the way of the peep sight so had to go.

yeah well i tried flipping the old sight upside down and that blocked most of it but you could still see it a tad and it annoyed me, so i used the little pin they supply and i might cut a thin piece of sheet metal to slide in under it just to completely block it off. like you say crap could easily get in there
