Anyone out there have any experience with a Yugoslavian SKS magazine not feeding the last round?
It doesn’t matter if I load two rounds, or 1o, the last round won’t chamber. The bolt locks back as if there were no round sitting there. If I release the bolt, the round chambers. Almost seems like it isn’t pushing up far enough into the path of the bolt.

If so, please comment on how you fixed it.

Thanks.

 

Anyone out there with an SKS have experience with the last round not feeding?

Took out the SKS on Sunday just to see if I could get it to cycle through. Last time out it was only firing single shot, which turned out to be the gas selector switch being up.

I load it with the 10 rounds now and it cycles normally until I get to the last round. It seems like the magazine arm isn’t pushing the last round all the way up, as the bolt locks open when I get to the last round.

Spring issue maybe?

Don’t want to start bending and tweaking the thing unless I absolutely have to.

Anyone with experience with this, please drop a line in the comments.
