Murray's Gunsmithing www.murraysguns.com deals with the slamfire problem. They sell a firing pin with return spring to be installed in an altered bolt. This effectively returns it to the original configuration. There is no altering the bolt. At least for a Russian or Chinese that I know of.
marion- I'd go for it !!

Be aware that an Army veteran just went to prison in MN because his AR-15 malfunctioned and appeared to be a machine gun, and the BATFE railroaded the guy in the trial. They claimed that he altered the gun's mechanisms and it is a long story. He loaned the gun to somebody else who had it when it appeared to be an automatic weapon.
The BATFE is way out of control.
You might look up the story. The guy's sentence is over two years.

I pu the Murray kit in my chicom.

From the description on Murray's website (bearing in mind I haven't done this mod), the firing pin hole in the bolt is countersunk drilled to provide a shoulder for the new spring to rest on. Without this the spring would compress on the taper and bind the firing pin.
Pope130- Nope, that is an additional mod they offer if you mail in your bolt. It just allows crud to work out the FP hole. The original mod is drop in. If you are comfortable with removing your FP from the bolt, then mailing in your bolt is unecessary.

Good to know. My brother has an SKS-D that has never had a slam fire, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Murray kit is around 37 bucks and if you shipped the bolt to them they will put it in for you and pay the shipping back to you what a Deal
47 bucks shipped and ready

Does this make the 2nd person this happened to or are you thinking of the National Guard instructor who is in/from Wisconsin rather than Minnesota?
His happened to be a Olympic AR-15 that had a part break and start to shoot full auto...

'Roger' that. I read on another gun site that he was in/from Wisconsin.
And a person with ATF stated that firing both barrels of a shotgun at once would be considered automatic, but that is hard for me to believe.
Anyway, don't take any chances near public roads etc. Even if out of sight and somebody hears what might sound like a machine gun, you could be in real trouble, maybe even down south.
But I'm fairly new to anything except a .22, despite being middle-aged.
Spin tactics are used by everyone from politicians to school boards. In this day and age, and when everyone is looking for a reason to take our guns, or limit the types we own, I feel compelled to ensure I am doing everything I can do to ensure I am not the next test case in the courts !!! Not to mention it is just a common sense fix to return the design to its original.

Well, I'll do it if I ever get a slam fire. I think the instances of it happening are kind of rare. And I usually don't fire the SKS often enough between cleanings where I think it could be likely.
Off the topic, but each time I've asked local deputies about plinking near a country road, but out of view above a deep river in a thick line of trees, they always say "100 yards or more from a road".
In some cases hearing slam fire from one or two miles would sound like a machine gun, would it not?
The minimum 100-yard interval also applies to state parks, if allowed.
