Been working on a couple new models. Underfolder feels pretty sturdy (or about as sturdy as a folding stock gets)
Not many options left for us, bubbas hands get bored. Send me a PM if you’re curious how these are made
I have received an sks that has a barrel which has been cut and crowned down to 18.6”. The owner told me it has been short cycling, which from my research says could be due to either the gas system being loose or more likely due to the dwell time in the barrel now being shorter.
I am going to bring this gun to the range with a bunch of spare parts for a day to start troubleshooting it, and see if I can get it to work. My current fix steps are below, am I missing anything? Do you guys have any tips to help this cycle? 18.6 Sks pictured with a cherrywood stock for attention.
Try it as normal, if it doesn’t work then -
Swap gas tube to second one
Tape front end of gas tube in case of gas loss
Swap long gas pistons
Swap short gas piston and spring
Swap recoil spring
Swap bolt and carrier
Try a detachable mag and new ammo?
Worst case if it still doesn’t run, I may look into either getting a lighter recoil spring or cutting down an extra one to see if that lightens the bolt. Thanks!
If you have any stocks you’d be willing to sell please let me know. Not picky on brand, ideally looking for the triangle steel side folder but let me know what you got. Located in Pickering Ontario but willing to ship
