I'm a bit old school but here's what I do... Get to know all your LGS's and pawn shops. Get in tight with them and before you know it they'll be looking for you. My places are glad to let me rummage threw their junk/spare parts boxes because....honestly how many guys out there are willing to throw cash at random/rusty/ what the hell is it? parts that the store wouldn't be selling any way.
Most of the time stores don't know what they have and I'll quote 1 of my LGS's " We don't have the time or the want to go threw all the boxes of stuff we aquire. So knock yourself out" You wouldn't believe how many times or different places have told me " since you know what it is just have it "
I wanted to show off a box I just got a few weeks ago but....It just wouldn't have been nice. I got enough SKS parts from 1 box of stuff to build a whole rifle on a barrelled action. Cost me 6 boxes of cheap ammo :o
Granted it takes time and its a crap shoot if your looking for an exact piece, but its fun . Way more satisfiying than point and click. That being said...It takes me years to find some stuff and I could use a couple of good sites as well.
Still looking for a para-trooper cleaning rod...
Thank you fellas,
If only I had a pawn shop near by to even try that i totally would. I would have to travel way too far to get to the closest one.
Thanks for the site names, its a shame one place doesnt have all the parts. Shipping kills ya there.
Just looking to stock up, ya never know.
Worm quite a while back Mary ordered some spring kits off eBay, I dug out the packages but the label only listed the parts contained and not the distributor. They were $26 IIRC but it includes the springs for the following:
hold open catch
bayonet
operating rod
cleaning kit storage
recoil spring
hammer
mag catch
trigger
trigger guard
Yugo gas shut-off
I need to get off my butt and order some spare parts for the bolt. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Thanks Danny, Those would be nice little kits to have. May have to surf ebay for some
