What position is the gas valve in? The one that regulates single shot vs. semi-auto?
Hey all, looking for some help with my virgin SKS I purchased a few years back. Its a yugo M59 SKS. When I load it with 1 round or more and fire it, it shoots great, but bolt sticks (only when I fire, when I just pull the bolt back and forth it moves fine), fails to eject, and to get it to eject the spent round I have to wait a while and it moves normal or bang the bolt hard to open the bolt. What have I done to troubleshoot? When I first got it I cleaned it to a stupid level of detail taking it down all the way to individual components in the trigger group. I also worked on the pin and firing pin so they moved in the bolt much better (it was getting stuck which I had read leads to slam firing).What do I think? Has to be one of the two pieces of the bolt or the chamber. I really don't see how the gas system could cause the bolt to get temporarily stuck (And yes the knob on the gas block is down and to the right, not at the top). I lean towards chamber but it looks alright to me. Anyone ever seen/dealt with this? Any thoughts?
