Help with my SKS reassembly

[Alte Schule]

I'm embarrassed to say my wife figured it out.

Glad you got it reassembled!

If you get stumped again, these books are pretty good resources to have on your shelf:

My wife is very helpful when I get stuck on gun projects. No shame in it. Just means we married well.

Some people have the ability to mentally turn parts in all directions to see how it can fit, I'm not one of them but my wife is.

If not for her I'd still be trying to get a Triumph motorcycle carb together. lol

Be thankful you have a talented assistant.
