Hey all

After many recommendations I got myself an SKS.

I just did a takedown and a cleaning thanks to some videos, but I’m having trouble putting it back together, namely when snapping in the trigger group.

I seem to have the mag assembled and trigger aligned well but I’m unable to snap it in place no matter how hard I push. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks everyone, indeed I just HIT IT EVEN HARDER!! It’s all clean and put back together

Use a clamp on top of reciever and bottom of trigger guard. Chinese ones seem a lot harder to close, I can close Russians by hand but not Chinese ones

Exactly what I did with mine. Clamp saved me so much effort compared to the first couple times.
