Gun and gear reviews Out with the yugo

First time out with m59/66..really liking it so far!

Seems a little more finicky with seating bullets.. had the odd jam.

This is with a hot barrel 300 rnds in..

2 groupings of 20 rnds (norinco 1964)

@120 yards

But it cycles fine!

"Seating bullets"? Like you reloaded for it? Or are you talking about chambering a round?

Feeding off stripper clips..when the seat into the magazine. The odd one was to far forward or a little off. The round wound hang up.. Ive seen it with other sks's. Just seems more prevalent on this one. I just pushed the rounds in passed the lips and back towards the bolt.

It’s pretty common because it was designed to be loaded with clips, if you load it too close to the front, only 2 of the 5 rounds will be properly chambered.

I’ve seen this many times.
