I finally received the parts for my gun. I turned my innocent Tula SKS ...
... into a frighteningly evil weapon of mass destruction:

You literally had to run it through twice, on the second strike of the firing pin it would set the primer off. Not occasionally, but every round. Worked OK with Norinco ammo. Possibly just a manufacturing defect. The pin looked fine, maybe a weak mainspring. Imagine that though, a Norinco with issues.
I'd rather have a Russian built SKS than a Chinese built M305. Just personal preference. Or a CZ 858 more than either. 
On a side note, I read somewhere on Gunnutz that Marstar had found a very large shipment of SKS's from Africa, varying in condition from battlefield pick to still in the cosmoline, and were expected to be in sometime soon, if not already. Should drive the price down and improve selection. |
From what I understand, it has something to do with the primers on the surplus ammo. Yours is designed to shoot the factory ammo, whereas mine is designed to shoot the surplus ammo. I don't really understand it, maybe the primers are tougher on the surplus ammo? I'm sure somebody here can explain, better.
