Just what I needed!

I purchased this product to repace a missing rear crossbolt on a Russian SKS rifle. It's a perfect fit, though I might need to thin the head a little. As for the proper tool to use, I was able to a the cheap SKS crossbolt tool. They're typically sold by a number of folks, but not Brownells.

Great Value

I was pleased with the quality and low cost. You will need a 1/4" drill, a 7/16" counterbore with 1/4" pilot to machine the stock. Strongly recommend doing this work in a milling machine. Did not see a spanner wrench to fit this crossbolt, so I made a simple T-handle spanner out of 7/16" round stock. Drilled the spanner pins at 9/32" (.2812) and made the pins out of .075 pin stock.
