Best place to buy a refurbed trigger group for my sks? I think my sear is toast on mine not too sure. My gun keep double firing. Or is it just better to buy another whole new sks...save the old one for parts. What is your guys fav place to get an sks? Canada ammo looks promising. Thanks fellow nuts
 
There is an old thread discussing the same issue with a trigger group. I can't remember the fix but it didn't involve replacement.
Someone with a better knowledge or memory will be along shortly. Ahem...is your SKS fun under that circumstance?:redface:

here yez go.. http://www.leverarms.com/surplus-firearms/sks-parts-accessories/sks-trigger-assembly.html

Chinese trigger group will work in a Russian sks, ive done it.. it worked fine. before you go buying new parts though, check if your firing pin is sticking, like its rusted or caked with crud and cosmoline.. I bought a couple of these deals if you're in the market for a fresh sks he probly still has some left http://www.leverarms.com/surplus-fi...es/russian-sks-1320-rounds-romanian-ammo.html

I've taken the bolt apart again thoroughly cleaned pin. I did lube the crap out of it and put it back together and still the same issue...was oiling the pin a mistake? Will it stick more cause the oil is my thought
 
crud will get in there and jam things up. I blast mine out with brake cleaner and leave it dry.

It's possible someone tampered with your sear. with the rifle unloaded (obviously) pull the trigger till it creeps a bit but not enough to drop the hammer. If you release the trigger slowly and you cant feel the sear starting to pull back, you have either neutral or negative sear angle.

also, you can try pulling on the trigger a wee bit, then drop the rifle butt on something sturdy a few times. If the hammer drops, pretty much want to replace the sear, it's unsafe. I sold a trigger group on the EE not too long ago, keep an eye out there, sometimes they come up.
 
AFAIK, oiling the pin is a no-no. The pin can stick forward in the FP channel resulting in multiple fires. With mine, i always clean, but only oil surfaces that the bolt/bolt carrier ride on. No oil inside the bolt itself.
 
Surplus ammo or modern non-corrosive? If shooting non-corrosive soft primers you can get slam fires. You may need a Murray's spring loaded firing pin.
Also agree that pin should be clean and dry, not oiled. Be sure what the problem is before going willy nilly on parts. Lots of help here!

I'm using non corrosive surplus..chinese I think.
I removed all the oil from firing pin with brake cleaner as recommended, seems to be moving quite a bit more freely, the oil defiantly gummed it up. I also took apart the trigger assembly to check the sear, looked a little worn but fairly 'neutral' I filed a slight back angle on the sear to ensure positive engagement with the hammer. Think I'll hit the range tomorrow and fire a few rounds to see if those two issues I addressed make a difference. PinkyPlinker make a good point to mess around with it a little before I buy replacement parts

Did you take the pin out when you cleaned the bolt? When I took my first one apart, thinking it had to be well cleaned... And nope. Big nope. I take all mine right down and make certain the pin and channel are squeaky clean. It's very easy to do.
Good job on the sear! I don't think it's the problem, but you have it in your hands so you'd know best what the evidence is.
Good luck and keep us posted!
