Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Like many surplus guns they are loaded with cosmoliene. I have seen many an SKS go full auto because they were not cleaned completely. And that means taking the bolt apart as well.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
A friend has/had a Russian SKS that was prone to doubling and a few triples. He detail stripped it and scrubbed it out again and again but it kept doing it. The firing pin seemed to be excessively floating. It only happened at the range pointed in the right direction. I believe he just put it in the back of his safe and left it there. He didn't want to sell it. I think a replacement bolt would have cured it.

Brandon Lee was killed by the lack of an armorer being hired to maticulously oversee the use of firearms on the set. Subsequently, a bullet from a poorly made 44 mag blank for a close up shot lodged in the forcing cone of the revolver during an early shot scene. The gun was later used to film another scene using fully charged blanks for the recoil and muzzle blast effect. The scene was when the character Eric Draven comes home to find the four thugs in his home after they raped his wife. The actor Michael Massee shot the gun and Brandon hit the floor as rehearsed. The film kept rolling. Nobody knew what happed for a minute. They thought it was very good acting. Then they figured out Brandon was seriously injured. He died early the next morning from blood loss and a bullet lodged in his spine.Originally Posted by Irving
Very sad.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Any military weapon. Seen this with M16's, AKs, SKS', etc. The ones with floating firing pins are the worst for this.Like many surplus guns they are loaded with cosmoliene. I have seen many an SKS go full auto because they were not cleaned completely. And that means taking the bolt apart as well.

Thanks for the break down.

Lol my old Mosin-Nagant used to kinda slam fire. It would discharge when you closed the bolt. Bass Pro Shop fixed it for free for me.
I had a slam fire in the bedroom once. Now I have a kid.

Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
