Buy recommendations Buying a modified SKS bolt
I am looking to modify my SKS with an AR15 magazine adapter and was wondering if anyone sells already milled SKS bolts for AR15 magazines so I don't have to go get mine milled at a shop or attempt to do it myself
Also, has anyone got there bolt modified and can give me a rough estimate of how much it costs?

I doubt people would part out their converted SKSes. Your best bet is to mill it yourself. If you want to play it safe just buy a second bolt.

Bolt and barrel combo is what established head spacing. You don't want to buy a modified bolt. You'll have no idea if it will work with your rifle.
Your option is to modify the bolt you have.

TNA regularly has auctions where they sell a couple modified bolts. Here’s one from their last auction. You could probably also email them to ask if they have any in stock.

The fact people are buying bolts instead of modifying theirs is baffling to me. Mine took me 2 minutes with a die grinder. Anyone can do it at home with a dremel.

The mod is so easy to pay someone to do it for you it would be cheaper to buy the necisarry tools.

Ship to me and pay me like 50 bucks and pay shipping back and I'll do it for you.
Unless you are referring to the receiver modifications for the hical adapter. Cause that's more work than just the bolt mod.

No pre-milled bolts available to my knowledge.
TNA offers the bolt mod service. Expect it to cost a few hundred dollars either way.
