possible heads up for sks owners

Source now asked RO at Silverdale who alluded to mag pinning being the issue now. Stated they are more than aware of cosmo slam fire and scoffed at calling authorities for poor/lack of cleaning.
Why am I even responding to the snarkyness again? I'm out.

Ditto. Post #9 eluded to a first hand account of a mag pinning issue.

^^^doubtfull, unless you can explain to the rest of us how a mag pinning issue leads to an sks going full auto?

Perhaps an unpinned rifle that slam fired all 10 rounds. I have come across at least one sks with an unmodified magazine at a local CT, odds are that there may be more.
 
I bought my SKS at CT and the guy at the counter, who also happened to be the dept manager, made point of stating to ensure that the rifle was thoroughly cleaned before using it.
 
I had a chance to speak with a CDN tire marketing guy who was setting up a local store for gun sales... I asked him if they were going to get any Norinco M305s and if so, how much.

After a rather pregnant pause, he said he wasn't sure about the "torindo" but assured me they could obtain anything in "305 caliber".

Did you believe it? I always double check things like that, it's like buying a used car and the Seller says "oh no, it doesn't burn a drop of oil" Hahaha, next gas up the dipstick is almost dry...

Sounds like his heart is in the right place. Not everyone can be as fluent as some gun nutz. Best bet is to help educate to get what you need and spread the word.
 
without re-reading the entire thread, I talked to a CT sporting goods manager today who said the SKS's will be back on the shelves in about a week or so. Incidentally, they had a pretty decent M44 on display there as well. And a Chiappa M1 Carbine in 9MM.
 
Was in CT in Steinbach , MB today and they still had a couple of SKSs in Timbersmith stocks and a M305 on display.

Now now, Torindo is a garden supply company in Japan --- perhaps they make water GUNS?? Maybe the guy was referring to the sectional density of a .375 round (which is 305)??? Hehehe

either way, if you're noticing recoil of a 223, no matter what the weight, you're still doing something wrong or you're a featherweight
btw, according to chuck hawks, your 7.62x39 using a 7lb gun generates a recoil of 8.1 ft lbs and a recoil velocity of 6.9 the 223 using a 62grain bullet and a 7 lb gun( that's the standard NATO round)of 3.9 ft lbs and a recoil velocity of 6.0
you can't argue with math, and your Russian round DOES generate more recoil

Maybe he is a featherweight is able to discern the difference in recoil between an AR and an SKS, as opposed to a heavier person who might not be able to tell the difference. Either way, what does that matter in the context of knowledge and direct practical experience?

What I do know, for sure, is that you're completely uniformed.
#1: A Russian SKS in standard configuration weighs in at 8.8 lbs. Weighed on a scale legal for postal usage. Not 7 lbs.

#2: Which action, specifically, is Chuck Hawks referring to that generates said values of force/velocity? Is the weight and velocity of the gas itself, gas piston, bolt carrier and bolt all moving rearward taken into account? Doubt it. On an SKS that is a significant chunk of weight. You'd know that if you'd ever stripped one down and thought about its operation for 2 seconds.

#3: 7.62x39 out of an SKS is (as I've chronographed, with Norinco silver box and Norinco Saudi spam-can copper washed) is running at 2450 fps w/ 123 gr bullet, and .223 runs a range of much lighter bullets, a lot quicker than that.

#4: I can argue with math very easily when you're using the wrong fricken numbers! :p

Such an over-reaction when the solution is just over in the automotive aisle...
There should just be a coupon for brake cleaner or paint thinner given out with each milsurp sold.
