Well finally shot my Yugo (with new spring firing pin) Zero.point.zero jams after 100 rounds.. TOTALLY amazing gun... Also blasted my 1925 Mosin. Perf it;!!

Appears SOG still has them.

Thinking about getting a Yugo SKS... Looking for any minus... Yeah Non-chromed but is that a bug deal if I keep the rifle clean and oiled..

Just for grins my okie gauges measure: GO = 1.66mm, NO GO=1.90mm, FIELD=1.97mm

Gee thanks I think I got a virus... Think about a SKS.. ;) I picked up some 7.62x54r at cabela's kind of surprised they had it.

UPDATE: well Ivan passed the GO and NO GO Like gauge tests.. So now time to shoot... Firing pin is OK that test as well.

I order the head space tools from Okie. I happen to have 5 7.62x54r dummy rounds (snap caps). All 5 fit fine, all feed in the chamber and extract like a charm.. Bolt closed with dummy round fine. So I hope the head space tool will so the space it not too large..

OK will check headspace... Makes sense...

So that notch appears normal.

I think the small notch at the head of the bolt that move from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock (bolt open to bolt locked) has that small space on the receiver to mate up with...

I uploaded a few photos of the inner receiver.. Wondering if it looks normal?

The receiver, bolt, and back plate all match.. The bayonet does not... As a newbie, I"m going to have a professional gun smith inspect it... I wondering what the best non-corrosive 7.62x54r ammo?

I cleaned up Ivan today... Mostly easy --never cleaned cosmoline before... But he looks great...

I got a 1925 Ex-Dragoon yesterday --yeah going to need some major cleaning but the gun is in amazing condition .. Bore looks even better... So nice to see the hand working on this weapon... Just amazing.

Hello,

Ordered a Hex Mosin Nagant, so yes I'm a nagant newbie.. Look forward to this rifle!
