Sks reassembly issue

[u/Medical_Banana1586]

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

Take the trigger group and mag out and re adjust them try to slot the mag in better then slam the fuck out of the trigger group and itll go in. Remember how hard it was to push the trigger group release pin, u gotta slam the fuck out of it Ivan
