I purchased an norinco SKS today. Used but excellent physical condition. Anyway, the rifle came w/ some chinese surplus ammo (copper cased) on strippers. When i went to test the gun it shot twice very quickly and then failed to feed a round. the nose of the next round got caught underneath the chamber opening and i had to pull the bolt back, push the round down and release the bolt again. I fired two more in rapid succession and it happened again. same fix until the 10 rd's i had loaded were gone. My freind went to shoot the gun and got off three rds, jam, fix then...
BRRRUUUPPPPPP!
7 rounds very fast.
he said he thought the gun went auto. Its got a folding stock and was being shot from the hip so I told him it may have just been the recoil causeing him to inadvertantly pull the trigger. The guy I bought the gun from said it slam fired once w/ the same ammo.
What can I do? Is there anything to increase the feed reliability? The gun is equiped w/ a 20 rd. fixed mag now. should I put a original 10 rd. fixed on it?
