Yugo sks at the range, any ideas what is causing this to happen?

[Spcwolf]

This is happening at the end of the firing. The last round the sks holds open.

 

[Sam7sf]

Did you forget to reinstall a certain spring?

I hope it came with a certain spring.
This is my first sks and I will take it all apart again and check when I get home.

It shoots just fine, but that’s most likely the problem.

The spring pushes that rod forward by resting under its flange

I remember installing that. It was under pressure and I had to hold it in.

I think I will be buying a new one.

 

[Sam7sf]

I had to hold it in.

That’s what she said

Take it out and see if the spring is there. Under pressure so be careful.

 

[Tblack89]

That’s what she said

She was probably disappointed.

 

[Spcwolf]

Spring is present. I took it out and put it back in the rifle and sent another 10 rounds. It didn’t do it again.

[Sam7sf]

Soooo imperfections? Something is failing to retain it. Had lots of sks’s in my life. Never had this issue. Look that hole over. Lol maybe a weak spring.

 

[Guns308]

Could be burrs in the hole or a tight fitting rod. The bolt closing could be enough to reset it every shot and you only see it protruding once the bolt locks open. Check hole for Cosmoline, check rod without spring for sticking in hole due to size or bend, finally lube the part before reinstalling. If its a little too big try slicking it up with scotchbrite or 320grit paper or finer.

 

[Sam7sf]

Wouldn’t be the first sks I had that needed a burr removed.

 

[Nicholst55]

Is the gas piston bent?

 

[Sam7sf]

If it was bent you would notice that. The hole in the housing ain’t got that much clearance

DON’T SHOOT IT ANYMORE! It’s FUBAR.
Send to Moonpie for proper disposal.

I already sent you all my Glocks so you can turn them into the moonpie 19’s re-barreled into 30 thuper Cary.

I will take it apart and clean it up. I already completely decosmolined the gun, I will inspect it to see if something is obstructing the spring.

I saw 2 boxes of your ammo yesterday at academy in Conroe, just in case you needed some spare ammo.
