Yugo SKS

Issues with Yugoslavian SKS. Rounds were not cycling properly while shooting it for first time. Rounds were not being chambered properly and I had to manually cycle the bolt to load the next round.

Ya I understand this, I have since got it figured out. Thanks

I think that the most likely cause of you being forced to manually cycle the bolt with every shot, is that you may have the gas cutoff on. At the end of your gas tube, there is a small button, which moves between 12 o' clock and 3 o' clock (as it would be viewed looking down the sights). Make sure that it is down, in the 3 o' clock position. If it is up, it is preventing gas from entering your gas tube and cycling your action. The Yugo's have this to facilitate use of the grenade launcher.

another reason might be because your recoil spring might be in backwards, the squiggley end goes INTO the bolt carrier

The problem is most likely the gas regulator at the front of the gas tube and the end of the grenade launcher fron sight. When you take off the gas tube there is a small round regulator inside the regulator where that little switch thingy is. Pull that thing out and find a way to flare the sides out just a little. The problem is that gas is leaking out of the sides and not cycling the action. A friend of my fixed mine with a hammer and a modified spike. Take a peek.
