I had to put my SKS's bolt on a concrete floor (the garage) for it to be backed with something rigid enough to drive out that pin the first time I cleaned it. And it is important to keep an SKS's firing pin clean and dry... http://www.murraysguns.com/sksown.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;karl wrote: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.
