i took apart my 2 no. 1 mk 3's they are both the same
as you can see the pin is still there
the only things that hold the trigger gaurd is the screw on the left,
and the screw in the middle.
an sks is kinda short for a crutch you'll have to unfold the bayonette![]()
i used a pair of soft handled long nose pliers one hanndle on each sideinteresting, ive had the trigger guard off with the big and small screw. ill take a stab at it later, maybe its just stuck under the band. who knows when this thing was last apart. it was starting to make cracking sounds while i tried to get it off and i didnt want to take the chance of it breaking.
i should get my wife to help me with the hot water, were moving in two weeks and anything i pour down the drain officially wont be my problem anymore, lol
iwould try and slacken the butstock screw firsti could, although the videos ive seen show the butt stock staying on the gun when the rest of the wood comes off. but thats entirely possible too especially if someone had replaced it at some point. thanks
after you slacken the buttstock screw you can have someone hold the rifle
upside down by the forend and with the recoil lug screw screwed back in about half way tap down with a half way tap down with a hammer and
a plastic drift punch.

whats a magazine cut off slot? im sure someone can sort out the markings i have no idea what any of them are, lol. good to know you got yours off that easy, ill try something similar first beofre removing the butt stock and see how it goes for me.
you dont have to remove the buttstock, just slacken it a couple of turns
i just did it with my new rifle. you can shorten the stock bolt a bit
so that it wont happen again
gotcha, ive got a busy weekend coming up so this will turn into a next week project, if backing it off a few turns drops the stock ill shorten the bolt up a little, thanks
i make out just fine with the wife, little tongue..... wait wrong forum, lol.
itll probably be monday, we move in two weeks and my wife has me packing the house up, guess it beats sitting on the couch drinking and playing video games. well to her it does, lol
