Fix my gun SKS Fail To Feed
I've been having this issue with my SKS where the 5th round feeds vertically and the bolt carrier slams into the side of it. This happens between 3 and 5 times per 100 rounds
I've seen some solutions online but don't fully understand the terminology used to fix it
Has anybody else had this issue and know how to solve it?

Its sitting there looking at you like "Please no, I don't want to go down the scary tube"
I honestly have no idea why this would happen. Thinking mag follower or feed lip issue. Maybe take a slow-mo video of it mis feeding with your phone to help diagnose it. Not sure how you would do that without a third hand.
