How To Fix Gunsmith Part 4 Not Working In Escape From Tarkov?
To resolve this issue, you should make sure that Escape From Tarkov is up-to-date and try changing to a Magpul stock. Additionally, consider purchasing the Tapco SKS from the mechanic.

Down below, we have discussed the solution in step-by-step detail.
1. Restart Escape From Tarkov
Sometimes, the issue can be resolved simply by restarting the game. This can help if the quest completion isn’t registering properly.
A fresh restart can often prompt the game to re-check the weapon’s modifications against the quest’s requirements, potentially resolving any discrepancies.
2. Check For Escape From Tarkov Updates
Escape from Tarkov is frequently updated, and these patches can sometimes alter the requirements for quests or the functionality of weapon mods.
It’s important to check the latest patch notes or community discussions to see if there have been any changes that affect Gunsmith Part 4.
Here are the steps to Escape from Tarkov Updates:
- Launch the Battlestate Games Launcher.
- Log in to your account if not already logged in.
- Click on the “Escape from Tarkov” tab on the left side of the launcher.
- Look for an “Update” button at the bottom of the launcher window.
- If an update is available, the button will be active. Click it to start the update process.
- Wait for the update to download and install automatically.
- Once the update is complete, the game should be up to date. You can now press “Play” to start the game.
3. Change To A Magpul Stock
If you find that the modifications still aren’t being accepted, one fix suggested by the community is to change to a Magpul stock.
This has been noted to solve the issue for some players, especially after certain game patches that may have affected the quest parameters.
Make sure to select the correct Magpul stock that meets the quest’s ergonomics and weight requirements.
4. Purchase Tapco SKS From Mechanic
Another potential fix is to purchase the Tapco SKS directly from the Mechanic at Loyalty Level 1, which is available through a barter involving GP coins and a screwdriver.
This version of the SKS may already meet some of the quest’s modification requirements, simplifying the process.
By starting with this base, you can then add the necessary attachments to fulfill the rest of the quest’s specifications.
5. Acquire Specific Parts From Traders
For a clear path to completing the quest, buy the OP-SKS from Jaeger at Loyalty Level 1, acquire a PSO-1 scope from Prapor at Loyalty Level 1, and obtain a Hexagon SKS suppressor either from the Flea Market or as a Found in Raid (FIR) item.
This combination is often recommended by the community as a reliable way to meet the quest’s requirements.
6. Modify The OP-SKS Configuration
A necessary step in the modification process for Gunsmith Part 4 is to remove the stock and internal magazine from the OP-SKS.
This allows you to attach aftermarket stocks and magazines that can help meet the quest’s ergonomics and other requirements.
7. Contact Escape From Tarkov Support

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to reach out to the Escape from Tarkov support team.
They can guide you through more specific troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue if it’s a more widespread bug.
