The amount of cosmoline omg. 2 hours to clean her up, all numbers matching and looks un issued, but dented steel on gas tube the part that holds the wood on. Need dummy grenades and blanks. A sling would have been nice for the price. Just not sure how ill finish the stock thinking linseed oil
I left mine in the cosmo.
Anyone else torturing themselves in the same way??
I was going to leave it boxed, but figured I should inspect it
Mine's a mixed bag.
Outer magazine shell has discouloration, possibly from heat. The mag is pinned sloppily such that the follower will not pivot - mag won't feed unless I can free it.
And the trigger group is either completely packed with cemented cosmoline such that a few hours soak in spirits won't free it, or it has issues, as the hammer will not release.
Might need to send this one back

Could be. It needs a bit of pressure on it before the sear will slip, and the disconnector plays a role. I've not used or torn down an SKS in years, so some of the details are hazy
Some time with a needle file and the sloppy weld is mostly cleared off, I think the mag will function. Definitely a refurb, as there are non-matching electropencil parts, like the magwell, firing pin, piston rod...
The blue has turned plum in places, like the receiver.
So long as the trigger group functions once I have enough grease off to reassemble the rifle, I'm sure it'll be fine.
