SKS question?

[Springfield_1911SS]

I have a Yugo SKS, it wouldn't fire semi-auto(Failure to eject), at all when I got it(yes, I had it in semi-auto mode). I came to The High Road to figure out my problem, would i found was that it was most likely a bad seal between the gas tube(the thing with the hand guard on it) and the gas cylinder. So some on the thread recommended a stainless steel gas valve. So I was able to buy one on ebay. I installed it in the gun. It is a bit longer than the stock one, I had to really put some force on the gas tube when reinstalling it, the selector by the grenade sight will not budge out of semi-auto. It will for the first mag full(10 rnd) just fine and then after that it starts to jam(stovepipe).

What else can I do?
Will a Chinese gas tube work on a Yugo rifle?

It sounds like there may still be some cosmoline in there. I had a similar experience with mine and it took tearing it down three times and re-cleaning to finally get it to stop stovepiping and jamming. Now, it's rare that I get a malfunction.

A Chinese gas tube is not the same size as a Yugo, so no they will not work.

Googel Murrays guns he will know how to make it run or just click here

could it just be the wolf ammo?

Mine doesn't like the 154gr SP from Wolf. It is really reliable with everything else.

I cleaned it again and bought some good ammo. I fired 10 just fine then the jamming began. I let it sit 2 hours and then was able to fire 10 more, then jamming. Iy almost seems to be a heat issue.
