I originally posted this in the rifle forum, but it keeps getting buried
I have this yugo SKS that will not cycle fresh from the cosmoline, cleaned everything off, spotless. scrubbed chamber with a .45 brush on a power drill for several minutes, replaced everything but the trigger assembly and stock on the receiver from another working SKS but mine still refuses to cycle.
Put about 30 rounds through it hand cycling cant find anywhere on the bolt that shows where it hits on something, and is very hard to hand cycle after firing. On its own the bolt will go back about a half inch, occasionally far enough for the extractor to work, but then catch the casing between the receiver and bolt.
im at a loss, as the gun is a shooter, i managed to cut down a 8" pine tree at 25 yds, so id like to have it to shoot with and not a parts gun
