I have been working on an SKS for weeks now. (At least the Cosmoline is gone finally.) Before and after. It's not perfect, but for first time full disassembly, refinishing of stock and bluing, hopefully not too bad.
Thanks!Good job getting your SKS cleaned up!
No it’s not. Even less fun with a Glock 19 that breaks a firing pin and jams the pin extended forward.make sure you disassemble and clean the bolt. It's no fun when they slam fire a complete mag unexpectedly.
I had a Norinco that the soft metal of the firing pin and the fp retaining pin wore away on and allowed the fp to jam in the forward position. Had some doubles and slamfires. Had to replace them both. But it runs fine now.make sure you disassemble and clean the bolt. It's no fun when they slam fire a complete mag unexpectedly.
I ordered it from Sportsman's Warehouse here in Utah. I know they have stores in other states as well.Bake the wood in the sun or with an old clothes iron. Mind if I ask where you picked yours up?
With that said, I sorta want to get my hands on some cosmoline just to preserve things in lol
Is there ever end to the Cosmoline? LolAfter you shoot it you'll find more cosmoline lol. Keep the bolt clean and have fun.

I disabled the bolt, cleaned the firing pin, and under the extractor.make sure you disassemble and clean the bolt. It's no fun when they slam fire a complete mag unexpectedly.
They have one here but won’t do store to store transfers and are out of stock for the foreseeable future.I ordered it from Sportsman's Warehouse here in Utah. I know they have stores in other states as well.
I shot it today, still have some minor work left on it, but seems to shoot fine.Let’s us know how it shoots.
Doesn't surprise me. When I ordered mine there was a limit of one per person, and when I went in the line at the gun counter was fairly long. At least around here (and from what I hear other places as well) people have been buying guns like crazy. I know finding gun powder is still somewhat of as a sad joke as well, or primers, bullets, pretty much you name it.They have one here but won’t do store to store transfers and are out of stock for the foreseeable future.
I ordered mine from their website, and had it shipped in.They have one here but won’t do store to store transfers and are out of stock for the foreseeable future.
