I'm thinking having a spare firing pin or two on hand is a good idea, and wanted to confirm that this Russian pin from RTGparts was compatible. I would assume so, since the Russians started arsenal 26, and by extension, all Chinese SKS production, but the ad cautions that there are different types, so I figured I'd better double check.

Thanks again ! dance2
Photo shows an early style spring loaded FP. These will not work (well) on Chinese bolts as the spring does not have a right angle surface of a counterbore to seat against like it does in the early Russian bolt design. See Murray's page for a good description: https://murraysguns.com/sks-firing-pins/
You could go with a Murray's drop in replacement FP though they are quite a bit more than an surplus FP. Personally I'd go with something like this: http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/sksfiringpinnew.aspx That's a free floating pin and should work nicely in any Chinese, Romy, Alby, or Yugo. thumb1
Outstanding! Thanks again RM, for the solid info, and the point in the right direction.

RM knows all sorts of stuff no one really should unless they are a wheelchair scientist guy or something
