Good video. A note for those without a "punch"....The SKS and AK were designed for take down in field without tools. A 7.62 cartridge tip is used to disassemble the trigger group in the field.
Good to know! Thanks for the information!
Mine came with one in the grip
Nice video. When you first started recoil spring was in backwards, curly portion goes forward. You did it right at the end. Critical thing with cleaning is that the firing pin must be free moving. Shake the bolt to make sure that firing pin moves. SKS are known to slam fire if firing pin not mobile and very dangerous. These are great rifles. The one you are showing is a beauty. Borescoped mine and not pretty but still shoots well.
True on the recoil spring, this isn't my rifle so I'm not sure who cleaned it before me but thank you for watching and your advice, too!
Just took my SKS to the range for the first time today and I'm ready to clean it up. Thanks for the vid, very helpful!
Glad to help!
Beautiful weapon/work of art. Btw before bolt install shake it and listen for fireing pin rattle. The rattle confirms you are good to go to install bolt/bolt carrier group. The rattle indicates the pin is free floating and so the risk of slam fire is very low. Awesome video.
Yup! Good advice!
I only did part of the cleaning because I was unable to get the trigger group out. But I cleaned everything on the bolt and recoil spring with rem oil (only stuff I have and i think it preserves it well). The bolt is so much easier to pull back. The previous owner didnt clean up this black stuff (assuming it was carbon buildup). I'm new to guns as my parents never got into them. But this video was very helpful. Thanks a ton.
To get the trigger group out try using a screw driver with a bit in the end of it that allows you to press down with some force. The trigger group is a pain to remove but once you have done it a few times it is easier.
Just cleaned my rifle after shooting it for the first time ! Great video, super easy to follow along 👍
Glad to help and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Helped me clean one I got from a trade many years ago.
Glad to help!
Uno de mis calibres favoritos. Lo heredé de mi abuelo la primeras semanas me dormía abrazando a mi sks. Love from Perú
Excellently filmed, and explained. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Looks like the recoil spring that was pulled out was installed backwards. The curvy part of the spring should be facing towards the front of the rifle.When you pulled it out the curvy spring part came out first which was facing towards the rear of the gun.
This is good to know!
Possibly the best how to sks vid ive seen...& ive been watching alot of em. I just got one that is in excellent condition! Letter prefix serial..no armory markings. Sino soviet i think..? Bayo & cleaning kit. I took it to a gunsmith to inspect it first but ill be looking back at your great & clear info again..after i get to try her out. Thanks! Take care
Thanks for watching!
awesome video. Extremely helpful
Thank you for watching!
I’m Michael Lorusso & I approve of this video. Well done Sir...
Thank you!
interesting video..a friend asked me if I knew how to clean his SKS..I admitted I didn't. Sewarched for claening an SKS, found & watched your video.
Good job. I'd just suggest you start wearing gloves while using oils & solvents..to protect from your skin from absorbing bad stuff, that may end up in your bloodstream.
Also makes cleaning your hands easier after you finish.. remove gloves, wash hands .Done.
Yup, I’ve since started wearing nitrile gloves in just about all of my cleaning videos.
I don’t know how you do it. You beat me by a week every time!
You must be talking to my kid or something. LOL
Great video, I’ll make sure to link to it. 😆👍🏻
Patriot In The Dark! Thanks man!
Oh baby! Next level camera angles!!!
Nuthin' but the best! LOL
I was actually just happy to keep everything in focus this time!
Great job on the video
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Good video.
Thanks man!
@@travisp11 You're welcome.
Thanks for the great video. Helped me out a lot 👍🏽
Glad to help!
Very good demonstration! I just got an sks and the guy I bought it from told me he cleaned the cosmoline off it and never shot it, when I got it I stripped it down it looked to be in pristine condition however I was mainly looking for carbon residue that would indicate if he shot it or not, no carbon residue was found but a little bit of yellow grease, would that be cosmoline?
One more question, my magazine has a bit of a hard time releasing, it takes some force to pull the lever back and let the mag open, would I need to replace any springs or is that normal? . Thanks!
I think the amount of spring tension would be normal as they used some strong springs in the build of these firearms. If that grease you mentioned before is sticky, it may be whats left of the cosmoline.
Very helpful video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I shoot corrosive ammo so I just strip everything down and throw it in a tub of water, wash the parts like dishes, dry, oil, reassemble
Yup! That works too!
Great video! Thanks 👍🏼
Hi! Sorry, Im so late, but I was wondering if these instructions also applied to the chinese version of the rifle, since I recently got one from my chinese grandparents
@@samuelzhao7925 they do!
Fantastic Video! Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I have a question, should we clean it after every time we used it if not how often? Cheers.
I do but you can shoot it many rounds before it needs to be cleaned again. This all depends on how clean it is to start as well as the mechanical condition of the rifle.
If you shoot surplus ammo with corrosive primers, you need to clean it shortly after. Otherwise it can take hundreds of rounds without cleaning.
That is a beautiful gun.
It seriously looks like it only has had a few rounds out through it. The darn thing has amazing blueing, beautiful furniture.
Great Video. You didn't do a set the recoil spring by racking the bolt or do a function test after assembly. Still a excellent job on video
Sorry about that. I usually do a dry fire on most of cleaning videos.
I have a 1951 Tula
Nice!
Hey I just got my Sks and I’m having trouble putting the gas tube back in place any tips I’m really struggling over here
Start at 19:30 and re watch what I did. It's possible you have the lever too far forward or pack and that is not allowing the gas tube to drop into its holder on the rear.
Such a great video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Can CLP and GS 96 be used interchangeably?
Can REM oil and Hopps 9 be used interchangeably?
I generally only go with the same gun cleaner/oil at the same time but sometimes I want a thinner coat on the trigger pack and internals but I run a thicker oil like CLP on the bolt and carrier. I havent noticed any issues.
Superb video.
Thanks!
Should we clean after every use thanks for video
I do but that is mainly because I check for wear and tear.
the spring of the bolt is not in the good direction. the right part must be towards the back.
Ok! Thank you for the heads up!
Could you use the bore snake on the gas tube? Also with the Yugo version is their a big difference in cleaning the gas tube being that it has grenade thrower setting?
I’m not sure about the cleaning process of the Yugo. I would only uses a nylon bristle brush inside the gas tube.
@@travisp11 okay thanks for that info. I'm about to pick up my first Yugo SKS next week off gun broker. Your video is helping me a lot to know what cleaning gear I need to pick up before hand. Currently I own a Stevens 320 and the cleaning process is very different in comparison. Again thanks for your content.
@@DeadMarine1980 Glad to help and thank you for watching!
Is this a Chinese SKS? That's a real good looking rifle!
This one is Russian. Check out the videos of it on my channel.
Do you have to remove the top assembly (bolt) first before you can remove the trigger and the mag???
I honestly dont know but I would recommend that you do.
You don’t. Just make sure safety is on 👍
was it just me or that recol spring was on backwards
It was coming out of the gun. I was the first person to clean it since it’s first owner.
Is it bad to use gun lube ( I used hoppes 9) in the barrel?
No problems, just be sure to run a dry cotton patch down the barrel to remove any excess.
@@travisp11 I never run a patch through after spraying oil in the barrel. But I only own a 22 for now. Any reason to do it with a big bore? Safety? Thanks
@@jumpninthedarkalley I've found that running a patch down the barrel after cleaning pickz up any excess oil but still leaves a thin coat inside. You don't have to do this but it is something that I do.
@@travisp11 great thanks for sharing pal. I figure the first round after a cleaning blows excess out! Will continue doing that, cheers
@@jumpninthedarkalley Sounds good! Thanks for watching!
Can I clean sks stock with soap and water? Will it damage the stock?
If you can, pick up a can of Liquid Gold and apply a few coats of it to the stock. Otherwise unless you are gonna refinish it I would only take a damp cloth to it followed up by a dry towel.
@@travisp11 Because I've got a surplus yugo sks and it smells like old storage and cosmoline :P Some one online said clean it with soap and water. This is my first time owning a sks so I don't want to damage it.
@@NgJackal1990 you may wanna just re finish the stock. You can do that with mineral spirits but you have to re finish the stock after that.
@@travisp11 It's a dark walnut stock and I'm not sure if they had coat on it before but it feels rough like wood. And I don't want to refinish it because I don't know how and I don't want to test it first on my first yugo sks :P I already cleaned the stock with mineral spirit; however, it still smells of old storage and cosmoline even when touching. So for now I only wish to find a way to wash or clean the stock with something to get rid of the smell tho. Do you know of any way?
@@travisp11 oh ok, thanks.
Thank you for this video, well shot/ produced, and pretty comprehensive, I was hoping for it to cover corrosive, or have a link for it, but after watching your video, I think I will be ok, just add an extra step using soap and water first.......???? I am at least confident enough to take it apart and put it back together after watching, of course not as quickly and with a lot more cursing lol
Warm soapy water, a warm rinse and oiling after words will prevent any issues from corrosive ammo. Thanks for watching!
