Fix my gun / Modding What should I do?

Post image

First shot of the day my sks did this. Anyone know what caused this and how I can fix this? Is this a gunsmith problem? I should add its stuck, I tried popping it out both with a ram rod and prying it out and its stuck pretty good

Chill, I had the exact same problem as you. Use rod under the barrel (that cleaning rod), let it drop freely from the muzzle a few times, or apply some force when you drop it. I managed to fix it in just a few minutes (in Crown Land), Don’t worry too much about that rod, the SKS design is very solid (besides, you can’t achieve 0.5 MOA with an SKS).
