SKS Assembly question

[Gibbs505]

OK, so to make it clear, the small guide rod with the 'curly end' wrapped around it goes into the bolt carrier first! Correct?

Hi,

I bought a Norinco SKS aboout 5 months ago, brand new in grease. Since then, I've only out about 40 rounds through it. I've become very good at assembling and disassembling it, however, I am still unsure which end of the recoil spring goes into the bolt carrier? Is it the straight end or the twisted up end?

Thanks

This blog has a selection of manuals for SKS as well as movies. The curly end goes into the bolt carrier.

Yes, the crooked end goes in the bolt carrier!
