Opus XX,

Just a couple of questions.

I posted a couple of recommendation for your SKS. First I suggested that you place only one shell in the weapon at a time until you were able to determine if the gun would slam fire. It sounds to me like you filled the magazine with a stripper clip. Why would you do that? Second, your post didn't indicate anything about examining the firing pin and block. Did you remove it and check it as I suggested? If the pin was "floating" in the block as I indicated, it could not go into auto as you described. And, I also suggested that you actually dissasemble the pin from the block and clean everything. Did you do that?

The SKS is probably the simplist and most rugged rifle I've handled for what it does. It sounds like you destroyed it before you tried some simple and safe remedies.

Let us know.
