Problem with my SKS

[AdVanL]

I finaly made it through a full crate of 7.62x39, so I started into the next case. I'm pretty sure its the ammo causing this, but almost every other shell gets stuck in the chamber and wont eject, so I gotta jam and the bolt lever to get it to pop out. Never had this with the other crate, anyone have a clue whats going on there?

first guess, dirty rifle?

Clean the chamber with a Solvent "not oil" then try

Gummed up gas system. Had that problem when I bought mine. Clean the piston and keep it dry, do not lubricate.

Clean, clean, clean... lather, rinse, repeat.

Cleaning the SKS with corrosive ammo is more important than any other rifle I've ever owned.
