stuck bolt?

papershreder · 10-16-2009, 12:57 AM

has anyone had the bolt get stuck open using a after market dust cover the one with scope mount?

Nope. But I have only put about 60rnds. through my scoped SKS so far. Were you able to get it unstuck?

I've never had that problem and I've put into the thousands of round thru mine with the Scope cover and the original. You might try filing the tips down a little they may not be allowing a proper fit.

i filed it a little and oiled it better. it still got stuck today but not as bad just bumped it and it shut last time i had to beat on it to close the bolt. should be able to see where its sticking at i marked the rough spots with a sharpies so if i have a bare spot thats where ill be filing. thanks

i forgot to add a range report 6in group at 50 yards not bad because i just cut the barrel about 1inch to remove the threads the rounds were hitting the muzzlebrake the rifling is real bad and it was not counter-bored so i counter-bored it 1in and re-crowned it to 11 degrees. took me 3 weeks i didnt want to do it twice. did it with hand tools would take it and pay someone $75 if i ever had to do it again. it was a good feeling when i saw the results.

6 inches is what it should be getting at 100 yards...

I'm assuming it's a Yugo? My Factory 25 Chi-Com would put a full 10 rd mag in 3" as fast as I could resight and squeeze the trigger.

Glad to help, keep us posted on how it comes. Hope you can get your groups a little tighter, but at least it's a blast to shoot.
