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

Why? If it’s not broken why take it apart?

So you have never owned one or yours is rusted . Corrosive ammo How does one clean that with out disassembly?

Nah I’ve had 3. You think troops were ripping their SKS apart after firing? They were issued with oil cans and cleaning rods for a reason.

With corrosive ammo you are worried about the bore and the gas piston. No need to disassemble for that.
