New SKS firing problems

Just thought I'd add my to bits, I just bought 4 Crates of czech ammo;
one crate ammo dates 1965
second crate date 1971
third and fourth crate 1982

the first two crates where from leverarms and the 1965 ammo was doing the same thing, I when through 5 box and had mybe 4rnds fire, the 71's missed about 1 or 2 out of 30, and 82's had not a single problem. everyone I know that has had ammo 1970 and older has had problems. Just FYI,

I think its just break in.

When I bought my 1st SKS, I had FTE's for about the first 100 rds, after that no problems.

If your rifle was rebuilt, then some of the trigger parts may have been replaced. They are now "wearing in".

it was the 5th time i've take it out and i tried alot of the czech crap through it before i tried something else. it would be one big coincidence if it "wore in" and the trigger issue all went away at the sametime i put different ammo through it.

i'm thinking the igman stuff is newer and has a bit softer primer.
for the trigger i was thinking the czech didn't have enough charge to snap something back all the way...i'd like to understand, but really, i'm just happy to have the problem behind me
