New SKS fan

[Pat Bastid]

I finally got a couple new SKS to compare my first one to, and am a newly converted fan of these guns. They have a ton of individuality (which I know next-to-nothing about), and the fact that they are so durable and self-contained really impresses me.

So anyways, I was scraping some of the cosmoline off the new ones, and realized that one of them has the return spring on the firing pin. I have read that this was due to the potential of slam-firing, but for some reason stop producing them like this? Is this standard in the newer (chinese) models at all? Or for some reason a brief thing of the past?

Never mind, I should have just read the stickies up top first!

Nice, yours already has the spring loaded firing Pin.... I bought a few FP's from Murray's and installed them in my Rifles just for peace of mind, just be aware that the 1950 Tula's were not chrome lined which in my opinion really isn't a big deal if you clean it well.....Welcome to the addiction!
