me and my cousin both bought yugo sks's last week and took them to the range....mine fired 200 rounds without a flinch...my cousin's never fully cycled....always leaving the spent round in the chamber....did some research and found the 2 most common problems of 1.being dirty and 2. the gas valve assembly....cleaned both the rifles to the max...examened his gas vavlve compared to mine and it seemed to be perfectly fine.....so we broke both rifles down completely and compared every part side by side...the only two differences we found was that 1. my gas piston was polished and his looked like it was right off the laythe and 2. the spring on his short rod (the one that will fly out if you not carfull when dissassembling) was about 1/4-1/2 inch shorter...would the spring deing to short cause it to not cycle fully???i know it seems like is might but when i was looking at it, it seemed as though it wouldnt matter...we plan to go back to the range and put my parts in his rifle to further diagnose the probmlem but that will probly me a while from now so any help yall can offer would be great...thanks alot everyone
