OK, I just bought a SKS. I decided to upgrade/mod it with a new combat stock from TAPCO. Its the Tapco SKS Intrafuse Rifle kit with Rail. I finished swapping stocks but I couldn't bash out that pin that holds the handguard and gas cylinder together on my original SKS.
I called the gun store I bought the sks from and the guy told me I have to drill it out because its welded together. But my buddy was able to hit it out with a punch. Anyways I drilled it out. The new stock comes with two pins but they don't seem to fit a bit loose except where the head of the pin is. Do I have to bash the head in till its snug?
Does anybody know what I can use as a substitute for that pin? Or do I have to buy a spare handguard and gas cylinder and man up and take out that pin manually?
Any help would be appreciated.
