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

I had the same problem so I beat it with a massive hammer. I learned that I could legit stand on it and JUMP on my SKS, AND IT STILL WOULDN'T CLICK ??? I literally need to smack it Soo hard to make it click.
