Yugo SKS Reliability
« on: February 11, 2014, 11:58:06 AM »
Hi everyone,


I just ordered what looks like a Yugo SKS in good condition (good bore, stock, etc). However, I've been seeing some reports of them having gas plug/valve issues. Any truth to this? Do I have a basically reliable gun, or do I have to get some replacement parts in the near future?

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the link for both a proven quick fix and a more permanent and expensive repair.  The paper clip has kept mine running for 4 or 5000 rounds.
