    If you're talking ammo, got a bunch of it to feed the SKS/AK's. Nasty stuff that tends to produce a popped primer occasionally but the price was right (back in the day).

    I retrofitted the SKS's with spring loaded firing pins at one point, a popped primer would melt the spring and hang the firing pin up. Sometimes it would hang the pin up in a retracted position (click), sometimes it would hang the pin up in the yee haw position. Finally wised up, ditched the springs (solution in search of a problem, TBH), and went back to OEM free-floated pins.

    Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own

    I get a boner.

    bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

    I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

          I bet the unexpected slam fire is fun at the range.

            Fortunately it was at ORGC and there was no one around to speak of.

          I don't know as much about the SKS action. No risk of an out of battery detonation with a stuck firing pin?

            There certainly is
            If the firing in is stuck out
            It can fire before the Bolt is locked

          The bolt drops down to lock But
          Sometimes
          protruding firing pin. ????
