I have a different SKS question for those of you with SKSs: have you had problems with slamfires? I'm particularly leary of this since I have a Chinese SKS that has the free-floating firing pin. Yesterday I disassembled the bolt and removed lots of cosmoline from the inside surfaces and from the firing pin. The firing pin moves to the finger touch, but I'm a little nervous about shooting this SKS for the first time because often while cycling the bolt, I'll look at the boltface and see the firing pin protruding. It always goes back in with a very light finger touch...
I've seen replacement SKS firing pin kits for about $35 on the internet that are supposed to fix this, by adding a firing pin spring back into the bolt that apparently is on the original Soviet SKS rifles. Anyone here have any experience or recommendations on this issue?
