So tried firing the SKS today. Loaded the rounds, it chambers fine but go to pull the trigger and no click, doesn't fire. Ok safety off?!?! Yup. Unload it an play with the trigger and it pulls and clicks. Put one round in the chamber and it fires. Ok odd, reload the gun and it does it again! Won't fire, it's a yugo with the grenade launcher setup. Dunno what's up took the gun apart maybe something's in wrong -_-

Is the bolt going all the way forward? When you cleaned it, did you install the recoil spring correctly?
I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem.

When loading from the mag, did you pull the bolt clear to the rear and then let it Slam shut? If not, the weapon will not be fully closed and in battery. Rifle will not fire. Round will not be fully seated in the chamber either.
This situation has happened twice in last two days on another board. Bolt must slam closed. Try it.
