There does appear to be a small flat spot on the spent casings. Probably 1mm wide, 2mm long. I am going to pick up a couple of boxes of different brands of ammo and give it a shot.

thanks for the feedback guys. The gas valve is in the right place, as the grenade sight will not go up if its set correctly for semiauto. You can see where the port is in the valve. The gas port appears to be okay, I ran a piece of wire through there, and there was no gunk or...

Okay, I have a Yugo SKS that will fire, but not cycle. I have changed the gas valve and spring and the gas piston. Still will not cycle. Here's the thing though... if I fire it, it is so hard to break open manually, that I can see why the gas system cant open it. I have to actually bang it...

Check out "Box of Truth" (Google it) for some real penetration testing. The dilemma is, if it won't fully penetrate a wall (other than brick), its probably not a reliable round for penetrating a human being, for one shot stoppage purposes anyway.

Okay, well, it doesn't look like its blocked at all. The gas valve is pretty black and corroded though. I ran a bit of wire through the port and didn't feel any restrictions or plugging at all. I will try a new gas valve I reckon. Thanks for all the responses.

Its pretty well used, not like new. But I'm going to open it up again today and see what I can see. If its a leaky gas tube, would this be evident when firing?

I recently purchased a surplus Yugo SKS, and just took it to the range for the first time this morning. It seems to be shooting straight enough,but the it will not cycle the rounds automatically. I have checked that the gas tube valve is down and to the right, and I have even flipped it back...

I am no expert, but long range snipers have been allowing soft materials to have contact with their barrels for a very long time. Some of the guys in Iraq and Afghanistan now are using tape of sorts, others some sort of wrap. Ghillie socks have long been used as well. I just thought it was rigid...

A VZ 58 might fit the bill, except they are not really cheap I guess. ;)

Marlin 981T

I clean ever gun after I shoot it. Swap the bore, swab the bolt/action with a little solvent and lube everything up. I break down my pistol. I really have no idea if they need it or not, but its just what I was taught and I kind of like doing it.

I don't think I would trust any hand gun cartridge to truly dangerous game. For a lever gun, get a Marlin 1895 in .45/70 and whatever handgun you want, but pray you never have to use it. And if by "smaller game" you mean whitetail size, then it will work, if a little heavy handed. If you...

If you are interested in a lever gun for range shooting, but aren't going to hunt with it, there are other options. A Marlin 1894 can be had in pistol calibers for example. I have a 336C as my deer gun and I love it. But its not cheap enough on ammo to make me want to just go to the...

I'm looking for custom CZ P01 grips. I actually think the stock rubber grips are perfect, but I am just looking for something with a little more style. I want something light in color, to contrast the beautiful black finish of the rest of the gun. I would prefer something in one of the...
