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.

Can I just skip this whole process of taking it down by swishing it around in a big barrel of oil and then drying it off? I mean those loose tolerances will allow a total flush of every component without ever needing to take anything apart right /S
