Lever Arms SKS trigger group fitting issues

I believe all their spare parts are Chinese ..... are the trigger groups the only part that might not be compatible with Russian guns?

Gas tubes vary in length on the Chinese SKS's. Also the stocks are different depending on which barrel attachment to receiver was used. They used a long lug, short lug and pinned barrel. So the stocks will have variances due to that. The bayos are different as well. Some parts will drop in fit, some will fit with some fitting needed some won't fit without a lot of fitting, some won't fit at all. Just get Russian parts to fit a Russian SKS. Then you don't have to worry much. I also have parts available on the EE for anyone needing them for the Russian SKS's.

Did you try to install the trigger group with the safety off. The safety is supposed to be in the on position when installing the trigger group. You can damage it by forcing it into place with the safety off. Not sure if it makes a difference but the ones pictured on Levers site look to be Chinese trigger groups. Or at least the one pictured is.

Thank you! My factoid for the day.
 
ALAN LEVER | May 2, 1930 - February 21, 2016 | Alan Lever, loved husband of Barbara Lever, father of Michael Lever (Lalitha Rupesinghe), Claire Akres (Mike Akres) and Katie Lever (Omer Sattar), and brother, grandfather, and uncle to a large extended family, died on February 21, 2016 at the grand age of 85. For decades, Alan was a fixture in downtown Vancouver running his businesses, Lever Antiques and Toys for Men, with his unique brand of customer service. He was committed to the introduction of gun control through his appointment in 1990 by the Minister of Justice to the Canadian Advisory Council on Firearms and in his younger years he was on the Vancouver Civic Museum Board, which founded the Museum of Vancouver and secured the Saint Roche for the Maritime Museum. His dry wit, sharp knowledge, and deep love of family will be greatly missed. His family has so much gratitude for his many wonderful care workers at Coastal Health and St. Paul's Hospital. Services will be held at Schara Tzedeck Cemetery, 2345 Marine Drive, 201, New Westminster, BC V3M 6R8 on February 23, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Heart Association or the charity of choice. -

my old friend
 
"He was committed to the introduction of gun control" is not exactly correct. He was committed to help with calming the fears of his fellow board members and putting some logic and common sense into the idea before it got out of hand.

Rip in peace old friend, I remember our discussions with happiness and regret that we can have them no longer.
