Hey guys I haven't had a chance to shoot my newly aquired sks yet but I had a question. I noticed that you have to have the bolt open to load a mag, no problem there. I put a loaded mag in the gun and pulled the bolt back and let it go to cycle the first round. I then pulled it back and released it several more times to familiarize myself with it a little bit. After that I wanted to take the mag out and clear the gun of the chambered round, but apparently you can't remove the magazine without the bolt being open. Does that mean that this gun has to be shot out of ammo or manually cycled out of ammo just to remove a magazine? Doesn't seem like this should be the only way to clear the gun to me. Let me know if I'm wrong, this is my first sks.
