SKS fixed mag "pole pinned" feeding issue fix

[EL34/6L6]

I know some of you are having feeding issues with the "pole pinned" some SKS' come equipped with.

I found this in the Milsurp forum in case some of you missed it.

Actually, mine pivots, but is very stiff. Not sure about this new pinning method. I will test her at the range on Sunday, and see if this is a problem.

Mine's just like that. It loosened up over a couple range outings and feeds nicely. Luckily I haven't had any problems. Not sure if it's good practice, but I put oil on everything, including this pin. Good that there is a fix for ones that aren't feeding right though.
