Currently building an AKS-74 and searching everywhere for a few parts. Needing a 5.45 forged bolt head in particular

Pretty much unobtainium from the online retailers right now. A few places like Soviet Stocks let you sign up for back-in-stock notifications, but Russian 74 bolts are gonna run you about three bills there. You might be able to find an American-made one but I'm not sure I'd wholly trust a PSA bolt.

Have you tried a WTB ad over on the Files? That might be your best and quickest bet. I'd also try /comblocmarket on Reddit.

Also, I've had some luck sourcing unique and harder to find items direct from guys in Ukraine, Romania, and Russia. Often you can find a high-volume seller of eastern bloc wares on places like eBay and Etsy, and then direct message them with requests for stuff they're not allowed to sell on those sites. It can be risky but it has paid off in the past.

I’m set up to be notified with practically all big names shops selling bolts. I actually found my carrier and trunnion on forums lol

You might want to try 4shooters in Florida he is an importer and I have got some great AK stuff from him.

I did find American made bolts but they come with serious disclaimers and warnings. They all need modification before you even headspace them . They’re made to .002 to specs

I sent them an email. They had a lot of carriers and parts though I’ll look into
