help with an SKS part

The pin that goes through the receiver cover on an SKS, what is the tech term for it? I need to order one of these bad boys and I can not figure out what it is called. Is it a Cross-bolt or a Receiver cover lock pin? And where is a good place to buy one. The SKS Man site seems very $$$

Please help

Gooch,
Go to www.sksman.com and order the reciever cover pin under SKS parts. As for the price, I looked at gun shows and the net. They just arn't out there.

You might try Tapco (www.tapco.com). It is frustrating that getting small parts for some of these low-cost guns can be so expensive. I would like a cleaning rod for a Mosin-Nagant M44 I recently bought for $59.95, but I have a hard time paying $15 or so to order one. Good luck.
