come on. not all of you fags can be filthy noguns

we need more pics op, dissemble the entire gun and get some closeups of the gas system. You are using the standard box mag correct?

>You are using the standard box mag correct?
yes. standard 10 round box mag, but it is not numbers matching to the receiver. what specifically do you want pics of?

best pic i could get of the gas port. it looks clear. i snaked a pipe cleaner, a real one not an arts and crafts one, in the port and into the barrel

I'm having the same problem with mine, no clue how to fix.

>>34313740

gas tube

everything looks fine with the gas system, the only thing i can think of is there is some sort of leak somewhere. other than that it may be the magazine.

>>34313970
how do i tell if there is a leak in the gas system?

>>34313300
Stupid question, is it your ammo?

>>34314008
its failed to feed with Wolf, Brown Bear, and PPU. in fact the 2nd to last round in the mag of PPU chambered half way, then the bolt bent the round 45 degrees down into the mag

and its usually at the end of the mag when the problems start. thats why i think it may be the mag spring or feed lips

>>34313330
So is it cycling all the way, but not feeding correctly? If this is the case I don't think the gas system is the problem.

>>34313300
As someone who has fixed his fair share of guns i would try a few things. 1) clean the gas system really well, and the recoil spring/bolt carrier. Use pipe cleaners and some kind of strong solvent like brake cleaner. Then relube with a light oil 2) be sure that your gas tube is sealed properly when installed it shouldn't rattle but alittle movement is okay. 3) try different ammo at least 3 or 4 different brands, at least one good quality like winchester or federal. If none of these work I recommend looking more into the short stroking issue.
You could also polish the bolt and carrier and the rails it rides on

>>34314032
Try loading 9 round and not 10 some guns just don't like to be filled to max

>>34313330
Judging from the way it stovepipes, my assumption is that it's not short stroking but rather you have either fucked up feed lips or a fucked up feed ramp.

recoil springs in backwards...Puts squiggle end in first, straight part in the rear!

>>34314758
R u kidding me

>>34313330
nigga I don't think your gas system is the problem, something's fucky in your feeding/ejection.

did you try folding the magazine lips inward? It fixed the problem on my sino soviet

>>34314032
it sounds like the spring

are you op? if so you are a fucking retard but im glad you fixed the issue

>>34314032
it could very well be your magazine springs. i had a t53 that would give me problems on the 4th and 5th rounds and it did exactly that or it would nose dive in the mag. try maybe replacing your springs.

>>34316186
no that wasnt the OP

>>34313300
Weak springs my dude

>>34318545
mag spring?

>>34313740
You already found the problem, the mag is not numbers matching with your sks. Buy another 10rd mag and try it out.

or just bend the feed lips
