    Gunsmithing Finding a Stronger Bolt Stop Pin?

    I recently disassembled my Sako 75 and found that the bolt stop pin had been broken. The stop had still been functioning normally. I have since read that this has been a problem for people using Sakos in the past. I have already bought a replacement pin and a spare, but I would rather find...
