SKS firing pin became magnetic

[steamy teabag]

A magnetic firing pin. just another reason to own the SKS. Dependable, robust, cheap to feed and will point you in the direction of home if lost in the bush.

So the SHTF guys were right all along !

SKS really is the ultimate SHTF rifle. Tough as nails survival/zombie killer AND can be used as a compass ....

Put the pin on something light that floats and see.if it points to North. If it does then this is a new secret SKS feature field compass

Heard this is why Bob & the Queen's cowboys want your SKS's. They figure you guys got non-restricted, full auto rail guns.... Their not quite sure how they work; but because they don't run on wind power, they must be evil....

"When heated above 176° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius), magnets will quickly lose their magnetic properties. The magnet will become permanently demagnetized if exposed to these temperatures for a certain length of time or heated
at a significantly higher temperature (Curie temperature)."


So you just get your F.Pin to 80 Cel and it'll take care of itself mid-shoot.
