SKS 5th Round ejects after 4th shot

[LuckyLuc82]

Hi Guys,

My 5th round keeps jumping out before I can fire it, anyone have this problem?

I had a similar issue present itself on my brother's SKS...turns out the thingamajig (connector arm gizmo for the follower) was bent and when it ejected the 4th round it would FTF the fifth round and jam, or it would pop right out. Had to bend back the arm somewhat to fix the issue.

My K98 mauser did that too. Shootemup is right just rebend the follower arm.
