SKS malfunction
i was plunking with a buddy of mine and saw something that i have never seen before, as soon as he chambered a round the rifle went off and emptied the mag. what could have caused this, and what needs to be done to make this not happen again?

Ok, all you armchair gunsmiths listen up please. I have a Yugo SKS in great cond. Great shooter, clean to death, my go to 7.62 rifle. Fired many rounds thru it without issues, until today! Hungarian and Wolf ammo used today, total 60 rounds. This problem happened three times in those 60 rds. After firing a round, the spent case would eject and the rifle would cycle and load another cartridge. At this time the trigger could be pulled all the way to the rear with no effort and no firing of the new round. If I pull the bolt handle all the way back, ejecting that round and loading another then the rifles operation would be ok. I reloaded that round for the next fill up and it shot ok. This happened three times on separate occasions. This rifle has always been good to me. The gas system is in good condition. I understand this firearm, but not this issue right now. Any takers?? Thanks in advance guys. Lee[?] 0 -
don't know about sks's but whenever I've had this problem with one of my guns it was because it failed recock when it cycled. 0 -
Yes, that's correct. Failure to recock would explain it better than I did. Thanks. Now then, why?? I think I can rule out the ammo. This problem should put me to sleep tonight. Tomorrow is another day. Lee[?] 0 -
The Yugo rifles with the integral rifle grenade launcher are notorious for having problems with their gas operated systems, due to leakage. Chances are you have been lucky up to now and it's finally catching up to you.
Lot of folks have had this same problem. Search the various gun boards on the net on how other guys fixed the leaking valve that causes this problem.0 -
OK, I think I have the problem cornered thanks to GB Forum persons. A leaky gas piston assy. is the culprit. CNC Warrior sells the SST gas piston and related parts. Low buck and griefless. This rifle of course lives on correct gas management. I'm on it thanks to you guys. Lee[:)] 0 -
I had one that on occasion wouldn't go into battery fully with some ammo. I had to push the bolt forward all the way. 0
