3 SKS questions

[cote_b]

Hi,

I just bought my first SKS, a Norinco. I have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer.

1. When storing it, should the action be open or closed?
2.When storing it, should the mag latch be open or closed?
3. Would an Albanian bolt work in my Norinco?

Thanks

1. Closed. Leave the mainspring relaxed so it doesn't "take a set" and lose strength.
2. Closed.

That's your two questions. Don't know the answer to the third!

agreed to both above and the third is yes, interchangeable.
