Be aware! Don't screw up like me.

I was giving the Yugo a cleaning today. I was cleaning around the gas port/selector all the sudden the button goes flying out. Iv'e seen this before. That much air time on a part means a spring. Luckily I found it on the floor at my feet.

I don't know how it "popped out" just be carefull. Expect it.

I couldn't have taken that apart if I tried.

unless something major was to brake on one of my gun's. i am the only one who works on them . that's the best way to get to know you'er gun is to take it down and clean it.

as odd as that may sound to some, that's what I want to do as a retirement job. Along with some light gunsmithing.

that would be one of the best jobs too do. is gun smithing. you would be able to see and handle all kinds of weapons.

I had that happen once with my Colt 1911's recoil spring cap, when I removed the bushing - "Sproing!" I saw it hit the curtain and fall behind the TV - but I couldn't find it! I searched off&on for days. Finally ordered a new one. Once I had it installed, I took one more look behind the TV - there was the cap, staring up at me in the open! "DOH!"
Oh well, now I got a spare.

I've done both the SKS gas piston spring and 1911 recoil spring cap launch.

The 1911 recoild spring cap actually left a deep depression in the dry wall ceiling of the dining room.

I think we have all done that at one time or another...I have walked into the Gunsmith with a bag of parts and said, "Here..." more than once!

But, I have also found that if the Smith is also a gun shop/retailer, and you buy some stuff from them and become a regular customer, thay have no problem with ALSO showing you how to do it yourself.

Yugo's are strange,too bad they are about the only SKS's left on the general market.

Rave · 04-15-2004, 10:41 AM

Does anyone know if the grenade launcer can be removed with out machining and if the muzzle beneath it is crowned,saw some advertised as Kalifornia models with the launcher removed.

jerry · 04-15-2004, 01:30 PM

I believe it's pinned and screwed on. not sure about the crown

Rave · 04-16-2004, 11:37 AM

Hummmm,sounds interesting,remove the launcher and one might have a threaded barrel to install one's favorite accessory?

jerry · 04-16-2004, 11:44 AM

Kina like this. I don't know about some of the claims, especially the accuracy claim.

there are some others out there too. Gotta watch those regulations of course

Hummmm,very interesting! Sure would like to see one with the launcher off,have a 1/2x28 die for AK's that have had the threads machined off,AR and other attachments work fine!
I am selective on which weapon I operate on,observing regs,of course!
