.223 AK parts availability

[Frank Klein]

Which AK parts fit my Norinco BWK92 (post-ban .223 AK)? I want to get some spare parts, but I am not sure which will fit. Will a AK74 (5.56x39) bolt (Bulgarian, if possible) work in this rifle? Which bolt carrier will work? (Another thing: My gas piston is a "loose" fit in the bolt carrier. It wobbles quite a bit, actually. Is this normal/acceptable?)

Other than those two items, and their related pieces, most of the stuff seems fairly straightforward. Any input or possible sources are appreciated.

I dont think the Bulgarian parts will work from what I've heard and read. If you get a Tapco catalog (www.tapco.com) they have the Chinese parts I think you need. Complete .223 bolt assembly w/piston and carrier for about $90. Thats seems pretty good for the entire package. As for the loosness in the piston, I dont know but with quality and design of Chinese rifles Id say its normal as long as it doesnt come apart. Hope this helps some.

The wobble in the Bolt Carrier/Piston assembly is perfectly normal and completely harmless.
