If you want to go direct my email is thenation69@hotmail give me a shout. Ski,

I need 7.62 x 54mm. How are you checking the headspace??? I put the Field gauge in from Forster but you cannot see nor measure the space between the bolt and the barrel. The gauge I had broke and I have more on order now. The reason the field gauge broke was due to the bolt would not slide forward slowly, it got to a point where it stuck so had to slide it forward harder and the pin on the end of the gauge broke. So could not verify if the gauge fit into the chamber of the barrel with bolt closed or not correctly. Please let me know how do you check the headspace on the PKM???

I ordered a third barrel from MarColMar (from another kit) and had them check headspace and test fire...good to go. Who knows what you will end up with if you buy one, may or may not headspace on your gun. Ski,

Is this a Serbian version of the PKM or could i be wrong. Please any response would be grateful.
