SKS Jamming

I have a Norcino SKS and I have trouble with it feeding. I have bought new magazines and still have problems with it feeding. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?

Are you using one of those 30 round SKS mags or is it factory built to accept AK mags? If you're using the SKS mags then you should go back to the original 1 rd magazine that the gun originally came with.

So that would be a single shot SKS?

I meant 10 round :oops: . My 0 key is sticking today and I didn't notice.

I don't believe it is converted to an AK magazine. It is still set up for the SKS magazines with the magazine locking lug on the bottom of the barrel. I have tried 30 and 50 round clips but have not tried a 10. When I purchased the weapon it came with a 30 round clip, but I bought it secondhand. So could I just buy this one Magazine
or do I need OEM?

You need the original factory SKS magazine. I dunno what to tell you if you bought it like that. It sounds like the guy you bought it from just threw it away after he converted it.

I did a quick google search and found a guy that sells them. You have to scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for Original 10rd Magazine 20.00. Here's the site and I hope it helps http://www.surplusfirearms.com/sksrifle.htm. I'm sure you can find em on other sites if you look around a bit. This is what it looks like

where are you located at, if you are close to me i would look at it for you and give you my advice, it isnt worth much but i have owned a couple sks's.
and i am pretty good at troubleshooting issues.

i will say this in advance if it was converted to take ak mags, when you say jamming do you mean the round doesnt feed? that is common on them

good luck man, sks is a cheap fun gun to shoot, well that was true until the 7.62x39mm ammo surpassed gold on the stock exchange

Thanks for the pic I will look at the local area gun shows for a 10 round clip that looks that that.

i have a few 10rd sks mags want one drop me a pm.

I have 3 sks chicom & yugo Ive never seen those aftermarket 30 rounders work , not in mine anyway . I know they look cool but I think
the stock 10 round mag is the best way to go !!!
