Hi guys. A buddy of mine bought an Sks in *barf* bullpup configuration. All bad taste judgements on that side.... Here's the story...
He goes to the range and it's sometimes dumps the mag full auto, sometimes just does 3 or 4 or 5 round bursts. He s telling me in passing that he doesn't feel safe taking it to the range anymore because who knows what it will do.
So I've been around the block a time of two, and the block has been around me the same so tell him to bring the bolt over because I'm sure the free closing on is probably stuck in there pretty bad.
He brings it over and the thing looks cleaner than my Romanian Sks and the bolt pin is rattling quite freely. Well... Crop. I bresk it down, boil it, and not that huge amount of cosmo scum coming out. Juuuuust enough to get yelled at by the missus for ruining one of her pots. DOH!
Its been sitting in mineral spirits overnight. My question is this... If this doesn't fix it, which it always has, but the pin has in previous experiences super gunned in cosmo, what's the next step?
A new shear? He wants to buy. That Murray bolt, but if it's not the bolt, that won't fix it. What do you guys think?
I'd also like to add that we live in Juneau Alaska and have no local gunsmith, so we CAN send it out, but if it's fixable here it would be less of a pain in the butt to ship out for something simple like a 10 dollar part...plus shipping, plus the smith fees.
What you guys think?
P. S. Really makes my heart hurt to ask a question like this with RC gone because you know he would have had some crazy awesome fix using bubblegum and duct tape and could have laughed with me about it. RIP friend
