Title: broke my rifle
Post by: ArkSlim on November 25, 2020, 06:21:29 AM

broke the lever that releases the gas tube on an sks. The lever I am talking about is located on the right side of the rifle next to the rear sight . Can this be fixed ?

Sucks, those are extremely difficult to find.  You might look on eBay/gunbroker for a full rear sight block, one would be included in that assy.  You'll have to carefully unpeen the whole lever and cam assy to take it out and then re-peen it in your gun.  I've heard of many having excellent results using a large ball bearing to re-peen. 

Good luck!
