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

90% of problems with the SKS can be solved by beating the fucking shit out of it. Godspeed.

This is just bad advice and someone who has spent alot of money on the new prices is going to fuck up their rifle

If you have gone hulk on your SKS and somehow broken it your genes should be tested.

What is this, SKS school? All I'll say is my 3lb dead blow might as well be zip tied to my SKS with how often they elope. She runs just fine.

Yah man because I think you need some schooling. Good luck beating your sks with a 3 Lbs hammer What does elope mean ? What i dont like is peaple that haven't a clue. Telling someone about how they should take care of their firearms that could lead them to a a problematic situation or a dangerous fire arm. So you telling peaple that they just need to spray it with G96 is not good advice The bolt and firing pin absolutely needs to be cleaned with hot water and simple green Dried then use G96 The whole firearms gas system should be treated this way

The SKS is not a Swiss watch. It is over-gassed as fuck from the factory, made from billet steel with obvious tool marks, and can handle a lot more abuse than I think you realize. They aren't exactly precise pieces of engineering. Sometimes, you have to beat them a bit to get things to fit back after full disassembly. I don't know what else to tell you.

Actually you cant tell me anything about these rifles I think your struggling to come up with things to try to show me you might possibly know maybe something I have shot these rifle for years decades Actually I know what they need to be cleaned to be able to put away and be able to shot again Good luck with yours and your shit method of just spray it with G96 and put it away Stuck gas piston in the gas tube G96 IS GREAT But you have to do your part also Im done

Bro I never fucking said anything about G96. You're actually just arguing with somebody else and thinking its me.

I also never told people they just need to spray G96 in their SKS.
