SKS pin issue

[GunsRBadMMMMKay]

Maybe change the firing pin? Does it have a firing pin spring installed? Is the pin bent or upside down (I can't remember if they will work upside down it's been a while - no poking fun lol) The Chinese ones didn't come with a return spring but sometimes they are installed after to help with "slam fires" lol. Had a yugo that did kind of the same thing with the hard primed milspec ammo - never really looked into it though, just choked it up to the firing pin return spring.

Also, could the action not closing completely (like in the micrometer range) cause this problem (asking a question of the more knowledgeable members - just a thought). I know if it is off enough to cause chamber troubles you'd notice but what if it was dirty in the action and just sometimes hanging up by a miniscule amount?

Ack... I would stay away from those aftermarket spring loaded ones. My buddies sks had only problems with one installed. Could also be the hammer spring, but if its hitting them quite hard then one sorta does something funny its probably the firing pin channel.
