Do i need to field strip the rifle to just clean it? or can i just run the rod through the barrel(no homo lol or "thats what she said"xD)couple of times to get the gun powder out of the grooves?
If the ammo is non-corrosive, you can usually just swab the bore. It is generally a good idea to get the gas tube, piston, etc. cleaned out every once in a while.
I have a sks tactical and I use 30 round clips and I have heard some people say they have had trouble with the 30 rounders and prefer the 10 rounders instead but I havnt had any problem with my 30 rounders has anyone else had problems?
I would use a blow dryer and just blow hot air on all the metal parts of your rifle until the cosmoline starts to oze off then you can just take a rag and wipe it off.
Nice video, really helps..but wat do u mean by a "duckbill" magazine? because i just bought an SKS and i dont no much about it. also why is a "duckbill" magazine unreliable?
Hey Socki2ya chill out man, anybody that has been around guns or has half a brain knows to check the gun to see if its loaded. Give the guy a break. Do you need step by step instructions on whiping your ass? Pullnshoot thanks for the vid, that is one nice sks, I plan on getting one soon and installing a tactical stock.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LISTEN, KID.
first thing you do is detatch the box magazine. empty it
the second thing you do is pull the bolt handle back and eject any rounds in the rifle, then inspect the chamber to make sure it's empty
Youre a dumb fuck because you are giving advice on how to disassemble a loaded firearm. the methods you described does not ensure that there will be no cartridges in the gun while disassembling
DO NOT disconnect the bolt mechanism before making sure there are no rounds in the chamber.
I just received/bought a yugo SKS 59/66. I am liking it already. Can you do a video of full dissasembly and full cleaning? My SKS still has the cosmoline all over it (nasty crap!!!)
hey whats up guys can u explain the gas piston to me, i have chinese polytech ak- 47 and i noticed that the only thing that goes into the gas tube on mine is the front end of the bolt carrier. whats up with the gas piston?
i fail to see how a rifle that is lighter, has a greater muzzle velocity/range, brutally tough, has quite a few integrated features, and is more easily managed logistically can't be considered better. i also fail to see how a tilting bolt mechanism is a bad thing. all this not mentioning how ridiculously reliable both rifles are.
It doesn't have greater velocity or range, because they both fire the same cartridge.
It's no tougher or more reliable than the AK, but it IS semi-automatic and only holds 10 rounds. It is also less reliable than the AK from my own personal experiences.
Your magazine's bolt catch might be worn down. Take it to a gun shop and have them look at it, there should be no fee and any parts you need you can order online and have shipped to your door, it is a fairly straightforward rifle.
ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!! Highly reliable, decently accurate, cheap, sturdy, long lasting... in other words, the freaking bomb. Like a hammer in a toolbox, everyone should have one of these rifles.
when i put my bolt back in and spring in it catches the lock and i have to pull the bolt a few time for it to set. that same for you, or should i just let the spring hang?
Great instructive video. I have a field manual on tearing down my SKS but it's sorely lacking in detail. Your video makes it easy. Thanks for helping us SKS owners to be able to field strip our weapons using an easy to watch video example.
version of that gun, same teardown principle, once I lift up that lever to pull the gas chamber assembly off, I can get the lever up, and the chamber wont pull off as it should, is it just really stuck or was there something else I didnt catch, ive already got the receiver off?
You would have to mess with the trigger mechanism (Be careful if you ever have to disassemble it). Semi-autos usually have two sears, one that releases the hammer or striker, and one that disengages the trigger after the bolt comes back.
I wouldn't try it either. It is illegal and a waste of ammo.
It can be modified to take MAGAZINES but they are generally unreliable. It is far better to use the stripper clips and thou shalt never haveth a problem.
True with one exception. Tapco20 magazines don't cause problems. It requires removing some of the wood inside the magazine well due to being designed for use with the Tapco Fusion Stock. However, by adding a few other US parts it can be 922R compliant with the Tapco20 in the factory stock. The Tapco magazines "DO NOT" cause jams at all like the other after markets ones do. Murray's Guns makes US triggers and sears for SKS to help in the US compliance parts count so a high cap mag be used.
Yes they are, though they are heavier due to the extra steel used due to the lack of having a chrome lined bore. As long as the rifle isn't abused with corrosive ammo (have to really look for corrosive ammo nowadays though) you will be fine.
Yes, the AK-47 is better than the SKS but the SKS has that appealing streamlined look to it, not to mention the fact that you dont have to worry about magazines and the pig sticker is already attached :)
In terms of accuracy I think they are pretty much on-par with eachother (comparing apples to apples) but I was speaking in terms of versatility... better placed safety (though noisy), pistol grip, detachable magazines, etc.
Thank you for being the 1E6 person to have the same comment! Unfortunately, this has been hashed and rehashed and I have admitted it as a mistake before and made amends.
Great video bud. There are many out there that buy these rifles and never get a manual with them. Youtube works great for folks such as that, and it only works great because people like yourself and many others take the time to video it.
You forgot the trigger group, and stock, brother...the trigger group can be removed by using the pick from the cleaning cylinder from the buttstock...if there isn't one, a flat tip screwdriver will suffice...ensure that the safety is on, or the trigger group will not come out...to remove, there is a dimple located at the rear of the trigger guard...push down firmly,with the available implement, and the trigger group will pop right out...
As said before, if you want to get a FULL STRIP, then look at adak1974's video. If you want to do a FIELD STRIP, then look at mine.
In my defense, this is the first video to authoritatively outline the stripping of the SKS ever put on youtube, so the 1st generation can have its faults while maintaining its intent.
dude wtf thats barely half of it the trig mech and the drop down of the lower half of the bolt are special components that you should have noted! REMAKE THE VIDEO AND DO A BETTER JOB!
Go watch the video adak1974 made if you want a full field strip. My video is the first video ever posted on YouTube that even showed how to disassemble the SKS, adak1974's is version 2.0 and about twice as popular as mine, as he, admittedly, does a better job with filming and explanation.
If you can do this video better, by all means, be my guest. This is America after all.
You can pretty much use nothing but a bullet to disassemble an SKS. The gas tube lever and rec. cover lever, if hard to turn, the bullet works well. Also, you can remove the trigger group with the bullet too by hitting the release button with the bullet, striking it with the palm of your hand.
Nice Video! Is there a way around dry firing an SKS? With my Mausers I can hold the trigger down and push the bolt forward. Just curious if there is a way with the SKS. Thanks!
There are a few minor differences in features but no differences in function. The Yugo 59/66 is the only SKS to have a NATO spec grenade launcher attached to it and has a gas valve near the front to allow the launching of such grenades. The Chinese variants, both military and commercial, are distinct and varied. Not only are they the lightest, some came as full auto, have spike bayonets and even some were made to take AK-47 magazines. The Chinese really made some cool stuff with the SKS.
yeah mine has the spike bayonet, its pretty cool! no detachable mag though.. I live in Canada so its rigged to only take 5 rounds at a time. Like all semi auto rifles up here, with the exception of .22's.
I have a yugo SKS and I have a question about the gas chamber. When I bought the rifle every single mechanism had a thick grease on it that slowed every mechanism down. I wiped out all of that and reoiled all moving parts. I asked a gunsmith about oiling up the gas chamber and moving parts in the gas chamber and he said I shouldn't do that. What do you think about it? Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Leaving excess oil in the gas tube and around the gas piston head probably isnt a good idea, but wiping it down with oil to remove the gunk and cosmo is not a bad idea. Periodically, the gas tube should be cleaned when using non-corrosive ammunition and should ALWAYS be cleaned immediatelu after shooting with corrosive ammo.
Excessive oil? No. Oil to clean up parts and prevent excessive wear? Absulutely!
The gunsmith gave you some sound advice...you want to ensure that the gas chamber is clean, but you DON'T want to get oil in the gas chamber as it will quickly build up cordite deposits that would eventually clog it and potentially present an unfavorable albeit a dangerous situation...
I have no idea, I do not deal in airsoft. I am assuming that it would be very unlikely unless it was a battery powered model. This is an actual weapon I am holding, btw...
Nothing like spending $300 for a standard soviet sks and then buying all the extra's. Clip mod,scope,bipod,100 rd drum ( rare ), laser, flashlight, Svd stock i could go on but its a great gun with some TLC
maybe not easier because their is a lot of pinching and pushing (everything doesn't just open up on the 14 like it does on the sks) but I belive field stripping a m-14 is faster in that their are fewer main parts
You don't need a license to buy a gun but you must be 18(rifle) or 21(handgun) and not a felon. You need a FFL if you want to buy and sell them as a business and have them shipped directly to you, or you can get a C&R(Curio and Relics) to collect guns that are older than 50 years and be able to have those shipped to you. The SKS is C&R eligible. Otherwise head to a local gun shop and pick up one, although you can't be a felon and they will do a background check.
hey pullnshoot i have a 1000$ SKS rifle and it came with the standard rifle stock is there any way i could fit a standard AK-47 stock on there? please respond
nice video man, i like doing this to my M1 Garand though, all you do with it is detach the trigger guard and everything comes loose, thats basically it, and all you have to do to take out a stuck clip or cartridge.
Good rifle the SKS, it's rugged, accurate & well made. If I had an FAC I'd love to own one but unfortunately after hungerford semi-auto rifles above .22 calibre are illegal in the UK so I'd only get a straight pull but I bet it's still fun to use!
It's a firearms certificate. Same as your permit. What's the SKS like to fire? I work as a curator in the armoury at my local museum & we have an SKS but sadly all our weapons are deactivated.
what does the rod you removed at the end of the assembly, mine does not thread into anything but the bayonette holds it in place, but i dont know what it does or is mine normal
Hey, this is pullnshoot25 (this video's creator) on my friend's profile. My bayonet does hold the cleaning rod as yours does. Other rifles such as the Mosin Nagant 7.62x54R series of rifles are actually held in by threads.
You forgot the most important part of field stripping ANY weapon that is second nature for those who field strip and clean often but may be easily forgotten for someone first learning how to field strip their guns. ALWAYS check to see if there is a round in the chamber.......Safety First

Already addressed before.
Dropping the bottom of the magwell and sliding back the bolt, sans the recoil spring assembly, essentially does the same thing.

The normal SKS has a fixed 10rd magazine.
There are some that use detachable AK-47 magazines made by Norinco but they are relatively uncommon.
There are "duckbill" magazines for the SKS that are generally unreliable and not recommended for that reason.

I wiped out all of that and reoiled all moving parts. I asked a gunsmith about oiling up the gas chamber and moving parts in the gas chamber and he said I shouldn't do that. What do you think about it? Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Leaving excess oil in the gas tube and around the gas piston head probably isnt a good idea, but wiping it down with oil to remove the gunk and cosmo is not a bad idea. Periodically, the gas tube should be cleaned when using non-corrosive ammunition and should ALWAYS be cleaned immediatelu after shooting with corrosive ammo.
Excessive oil? No. Oil to clean up parts and prevent excessive wear? Absulutely!

Wow, I must have been a little bit wasted writing this. It is not "absulutely!" but "absolutely!"
pullnshoot25 3 years ago
The gunsmith gave you some sound advice...you want to ensure that the gas chamber is clean, but you DON'T want to get oil in the gas chamber as it will quickly build up cordite deposits that would eventually clog it and potentially present an unfavorable albeit a dangerous situation...

You didn't take apart the trigger assembly or magazine. So no it's not completely disassembled.

Thanks for the video. I've got a Norinco SKS-D, and it's a bit different, but the basic principles are the same.

I have no idea, I do not deal in airsoft. I am assuming that it would be very unlikely unless it was a battery powered model. This is an actual weapon I am holding, btw...

i bought an sks that came with a 30 round mag already in it. what do i have to do to get it to accept the original 10 round mag?
WAsoccer24 4 years ago
Remove the trigger group, remove the 30 rounder, reinstall the 10 rounder and reinsert the trigger group.

what about the bannet i dont understand how to put it back in after u have it out

You pull up on the latch thingy near the top and then pull to the side. The bayonet will go back into place.

Nothing like spending $300 for a standard soviet sks and then buying all the extra's. Clip mod,scope,bipod,100 rd drum ( rare ), laser, flashlight, Svd stock i could go on but its a great gun with some TLC
Nikolai553 4 years ago
You're thinking of the AK. The SKS never had a 100rd drum.
pullnshoot25 4 years ago
honestly, I think an M-14 is easier to field strip.
Alexn1067 4 years ago
maybe not easier because their is a lot of pinching and pushing (everything doesn't just open up on the 14 like it does on the sks) but I belive field stripping a m-14 is faster in that their are fewer main parts

Whats the procedure in the US to buy guns? do you have to have a licence?
stu106 4 years ago
You don't need a license to buy a gun but you must be 18(rifle) or 21(handgun) and not a felon. You need a FFL if you want to buy and sell them as a business and have them shipped directly to you, or you can get a C&R(Curio and Relics) to collect guns that are older than 50 years and be able to have those shipped to you. The SKS is C&R eligible. Otherwise head to a local gun shop and pick up one, although you can't be a felon and they will do a background check.
handsomerob2004 4 years ago
Most of the SKS varieties are C&R legal, but not all.

hey pullnshoot i have a 1000$ SKS rifle and it came with the standard rifle stock is there any way i could fit a standard AK-47 stock on there? please respond
iliketheairforce 4 years ago
You can buy a collector grade Soviet SKS for 600 dollars. Please post multiple picturea of this rifle so I can see what it is that you bought.
As to your question, it is not possible to fit an SKS into an AK stock. They are similar yet entirely different firearms.
pullnshoot25 4 years ago
I want an SKS. :3 I own a very good .22 bolt action rifle with a scope, and a Beretta M9 92FS. Nothing big yet.
Zyoher 4 years ago
nice video man, i like doing this to my M1 Garand though, all you do with it is detach the trigger guard and everything comes loose, thats basically it, and all you have to do to take out a stuck clip or cartridge.

You make it look simple can you still buy the 30 round clips for this rife???
leerider52 4 years ago
Not clips, but magazines. Yes, you can still buy them but they do not work all that well with this rifle.
pullnshoot25 4 years ago
I think he really means clips but that thing would be huge.
UpcomingJedi 4 years ago
You're wrong on the second step. The second step is actually to pull the bolt back to make sure the chamber is empty.

Good rifle the SKS, it's rugged, accurate & well made. If I had an FAC I'd love to own one but unfortunately after hungerford semi-auto rifles above .22 calibre are illegal in the UK so I'd only get a straight pull but I bet it's still fun to use!
Keith10284 4 years ago
What is an FAC?
pullnshoot25 4 years ago
It's a firearms certificate. Same as your permit. What's the SKS like to fire? I work as a curator in the armoury at my local museum & we have an SKS but sadly all our weapons are deactivated.
Keith10284 4 years ago
That is unfortunate. If you ever come stateside to San Diego, CA shoot me a message and I will take you shooting.
It is a moderate recoiling rifle, quick to shoulder, a little on the heavy side, decent trigger and simply an awesome little carbine.
Like I said, when you come stateside, let me know!
pullnshoot25 4 years ago
I appreciate the offer, if I ever do go stateside I'll be sure to do that!
Keith10284 4 years ago

what does the rod you removed at the end of the assembly, mine does not thread into anything but the bayonette holds it in place, but i dont know what it does or is mine normal

Hey, this is pullnshoot25 (this video's creator) on my friend's profile. My bayonet does hold the cleaning rod as yours does. Other rifles such as the Mosin Nagant 7.62x54R series of rifles are actually held in by threads.

You forgot the most important part of field stripping ANY weapon that is second nature for those who field strip and clean often but may be easily forgotten for someone first learning how to field strip their guns. ALWAYS check to see if there is a round in the chamber.......Safety First

FTR: Tapco 20 round mags work perfect if anyone is interested in higher capacity.
Also, the majority of Cosmoline can be removed by using boiling water or a heat gun, since it breaks down at 135*F.
Anyway, nice vid ... you should have included trigger and magazine disassembly so you could pull the stock off for a thorough cleaning. Just my $0.02
