SKS Disassembly and Cleaning - Part 2- Reassembly

i got a tapco stock on mine but the gas tube wiggles a bit and i think its making it jam up cause you can lift it up a tiny bit but yeah i think im gunna get a new tube and piston to replace the 60 year old crap that ive been using

great video....(1 And 2) Helped A newbie ....TY

Thanks dude. You rock!

great videos, I just got my frist rifle yesterday (norinco SKS with the thread on barrel) and these videos were a great help in learning out to take it down for cleaning. (also great tip on the degreasing!)

Thank you, you've just prevented me from shooting with my recoil spring in backwards

nice video and awsome advise on the grease packing removal! I've even gotten ahold of a story of a guy throwing his stock in the dishwasher no soap dont recomend it though! but anyway's awsome video and my request would be a full rifle cleaning rather than a strip down video. you know i wana see hopps9 gettin worked on it. but anyway's yeah i know how the bolt/bolt carrier can be a hastle and i had to learn the hard way about the safety lever! great vid and hoping for more! thanks

It's in progress... I just need to get off my ass. Easier said than done... LOL

elal757, Your a rock star! Very informative video. I second that request. The bolt is a pain in the ass to try and take apart. a video on that would be great. Keep up the good work!

It Pops and i found it only happens when the safety is on. I guess i will just load with the safety off.

sounds like the trigger group isn't seated all the way. Make sure it "pops" into place.

after reassembly, i let the bolt and carrier forward and the trigger group falls out. Do you know what could be causing this.

whats goin on my man,,, thanks for the info, I just picked the same one up and put a new advanced stock on it, You were very helpful cause I never took apart an sks apart before, I did it fast as hell with your details... Thank you

I've had quite a few requests for that. I'll get right on it!

each to his/her own...This is just the way I like to do it since the trigger group holds the gun together.

Unless you smoke!

Great videos! I would offer a suggestion though - it seems like 90% of the SKS owners out there never take the time to disassemble the bolt, and clean the cosmoline out of the firing pin channel or from behind the extractor. This eventually leads to misfires, or worse - slamfires - because over time the cosmoline acts like a sponge, attracting dirt and carbon and eventually seizing up the works. A video on how to disassemble, clean and reassemble the bolt would be a great help to SKS newbs.

It's alot easier to put the boult in before the trigger assembly!!!

Much appreciated!

Glad it helps. These rifles are a lot of fun, and for the price I think everyone should have one. A cheap plinker and great for new shooters. Cleaning the cosmoline isn't hard, just messy. Make sure you have some time and a set of clothes that you don't really care a whole lot about!

Thanks for posting these vids! I have my first SKS coming in about a week and your vids are going to be a big help in disassembling it to get the cosmoline out. :)

My piston doesn't have an o ring, and i've never seen one that has...

guns are dangerous, just like cars, chainsaws, kitchen knives, etc. They can all kill you or cause serious injury. However, used properly they are no worse than a book.

I just don't want someone that's inexperienced trying to explain a hole in the wall with "Well this guy on youtube...."

just wipe it off and spray it with oil. If you have an air compressor, you can blow it off too. Otherwise it really won't hurt anything.

great videos sir.

your video was really helpfull but i heard you saying something about cleaning all the metal parts with kerosene?? how you do that and how you take off the kerosene when you are done? thank you!!
