trucker long hauling everywhere LOL

tz 75 had a feed issue on that cheap fedammo reloads :uhoh:115 grainers, the split screen couldnt get it to work? off timing bad so i scratch it well i filed down the firing pin today after the shoot about 5 thounds of a inch will see if that solves this issue of primmer push throughs and cook offs
 
You did not have a cook off in your SKS. Film narration and visibility as to what you are trying to do is not very clear. The SKS can have slam fires due to several different possible issues. A gun has to get real hot for a cook off to happen.
As long you were having fun all seems well.

Might consider adding a firing pin return spring. I believe the Yugo bolt is already machined for it, should drop in.
Not sure if anyone makes a titanium pin for the SKS, but that might be an option as well. Less chance of a slamfire due to less pin mass.

i can tell it sits to far out on the face this is not a yugo pin its a chinnese sks pin replacement the yugo got bent bad on wolf ammo hard primmers
The yugo firing pin got bent from hitting the primers of wolf ammo. On an SKS you want hard primers to prevent slam fire. I really wonder about wolf ammo being a culprit here.
 
Murray's Gunsmithing in Bowie Texas can cure SKS issues such as 'curing' (-permanently-) Popped primer issues.
They sell the firing pin spring along with performing other professional services.

**The first Russian SKS rifle series actually Had firing pin springs, then decided to no longer use these springs.
