Don’t recall that being the case.Not-an-SK guy wondering if one end of the spring is smaller diameter than the other, thus having an outer end & an inner end?
The spring is and was present. I took it out and flipped it around. Sent another 2 magazines full and it didn’t do it.Don’t recall that being the case.
Really…most likely it was reassembled without it. Mechanically it speaks for itself. The housing would have to have a serious burr to catch that spring. It’s possible! I have fixed burrs in yugo sks’s before.
Was anything in the hole? LolThe spring is and was present. I took it out and flipped it around. Sent another 2 magazines full and it didn’t do it.
Just a right wing nut.Loose nut behind the trigger?
I will take it apart later and take a look. I spent a ton of time decosmoling this rifle.Was anything in the hole? Lol
But seriously was anything like a burr or cosmo spoodge in that housing?
I used carb cleaner and shop rags on all metal parts.Gasoline is a great solvent for cosmoline.
I did the same with my yugo.I used carb cleaner and shop rags on all metal parts.
Completely stripped the wood, sanded it a little to make it smooth. Then put boiled linseed oil back in it.
It’s a very nice yugo sks.
That's actually kind of nice looking wood.... my Norinco got an extension put on the buttstock, so that my thumb would not bang into my nose every time I pulled the trigger....apparently, at 6' 2" my arms are a little longer than the average Chinese soldier's.....Here is the rifle

I then put the metal buttplate off my Swedish mauser on it, and painted the stock black. 30-ish years later it still looks pretty good.
Yeah, the grain really came out nicely. The stock on my Norinco looked like stained birch... I turned it black.The wood looked bad originally, it was choked with old oil and the cosmoline.
I used citristrip https://www.lowes.com/pd/CitriStrip...beeyS_DSdfGQMtvv_uxoCIAwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
This stuff works great, just make sure you use the proper chemical rated gloves.
I then gave it a bath in acetone to remove the acid after scraping as much of it off as I could with a paint scraper.
I then let it dry out in the garage hung up for about 2 days. Sanded it down a little bit. Then added BLO. It turned out very well.
Here's a couple of pics to show how much I added to the buttstock, and one of the mauser metal buttplate. It's gotten a little beat up over the years, but I'm surprised how tough the rattle-can spray paint turned out to be... The wood I used was from a chunk of a silver maple tree that we cut down in our front yard after the blight got it. The chunks sat out in the alley for a few years, and I decided to whittle part of it down to use as an extension. I trimmed the stock down to square it up. It worked out pretty well.... no more thumb to the nose.
