Folks,
Need some help w/ a couple of SKS questions. Rifle in question is a Yugo SKS. Do the yugos have some trick to get the firing pin out of the bolt? Things are cleaned up enough so that the bolt rattles, but I can't drive the pin out to release the firing pin. The bolt I have doesn't look quite like the few disassembly pictures I could find. In fact, I've bent a punch trying to drive the pin that secures the firing pin out.
Second question: I'm having a fair number of fail to fire events. This has happened w/ Brown Bear, Wolf, and some German surplus. All rounds that fail to fire show a light firing pin strike. These rounds will fire if loaded back into the rifle. There is no predictable sequence. I can shoot 5 or 6 rounds then get 1 or 2 FTF. I can get an FTF first then get several normal rounds. The Wolf (these were non-laquered cases) was the best with 3 FTF out of twenty.
Any thoughts?
