Thanks Andy! I had it resting on a jack stand on the slab in the garage. Only soft part was the small towel to keep it protected.AndyC wrote:http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=28151.0

SKS Bolt: Firing Pin Retainer Stuck
I bought an SKS recently and on the third range trip I had a FTF that is now known to be caused by a stuck firing pin. Closer observation shows that the firing pin Retainer has some interesting deformations (post pics when I get home). I've tried using a hammer and punch and cannot remove the retainer pin.
Assuming I can't get that pin out, has anyone had any luck with dropping in a new bolt and firing pin? I know we're all about matching serial numbers and wasn't sure if I should take a few more tries with the punch and lube.
