I do have them in my SKS’s Even without the spring installed, they offer a reduced chance of a slam fire. Instead of a conical shaped firing pin head pushing up into a conical shaped hole, the pin is just round at the end and never contacts the conical hole in the bolt.
The one real problem with them is that if you have a pierced primer the flame entering the bolt through the hole will take the temper out of the spring and render it useless. Even with the spring in this condition the pin still functions properly. Mr. Murray has also discovered what seems to be the cause of a lot of these pierced primer incidents. On a lot of SKS Rifle Stocks bolts, there seems to be a burr or raised edge around the firing pin hole on the face of the bolt. By removing this burr it stopped my SKS’s from having any more pierced primers.

The Aimpoint Comp M2, also known as the M68/CCO (when used by U.S. forces), is the standard sight for the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and the armed forces of many NATO countries.
Designed for extreme conditions – submersible to 25 meters
The Aimpoint Comp m2 is ready for use around the clock due to its compatibility with all generations of night vision devices (NVD)
When the Aimpoint Scopes Comp M2 was released, it became the benchmark against which all other combat optics are measured. While primarily utilized by armed forces, the CompM2 is also available to hunters and sport shooters who want a professional-grade sight.
Holds up under the roughest physical handling and can withstand the most severe weather conditions and temperatures
Completely submersible and will withstand pressures up to 2.5 atmospheres allowing it to be taken up to 80 feet (25 meters) under water.
. All guns in china are made in gov’t arsenals and exported through Norinco or in this case CGA. This gun probably arrived in the unmarked and was rather crudely stamped by Glnic. It reads: “7.62X39mm SKS Rifle Stocks made in china by CGA. Imported by Glnic Ca. Semi-Auto” I read that China didn’t mark many of their guns destined for export in case they turned up in places that they shouldn’t be so there would be deniability. This gun has been a real social studies lesson!

ReportI just picked up a bunch of Winchester 7.62×39 from a friend and I was planning on shooting it through my only 7.62x39mm rifle, a Yugo 59/66. My concern was slam fires from the softer primers, I did a search and found this site…

There are recently imported Yugo’s out there for around $279. Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.
ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now.

I’ve had 3 different SKS’s. A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice.
My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

The Yugo 56/66 model is ok and right now Cabelas has a bunch on sale for $199.00, but I have never been a fan of them. Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate.
Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s.
Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system.
After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it.
While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.

Russian all the way.
Panasonic has one of the worst. Discharged Surefire Batteries have a much higher chance of leaking than their fully-charged counterparts, due to the fact that the chemical changes which occur as the battery discharges are corrosive in nature. Yet another factor is storage temperature: The speed at which any battery chemistry self-discharges is GREATLY dependent on the ambient temperature – For example, an alkaline battery that may retain 80 percent of its original charge for 10 years in a 70 degree F. room might do good to last for 2 years when stored in a vehicle that routinely sees 130 degree summertime temperatures. Naturally, cost plays an important role: The cheaper the battery chemistry is (or the more expensive the device is), the more seriously you should consider removal. clasky 8/19/2008 9:09:41 AM I guess I should add that I only use high end Surefire Batteries (Surefire CR123, Duracell Alkalines, and Energizer Lithiums). I’m not concerned as much with battery power being zapped, but I am concerned with the off chance that a battery would leak or explode, destroying my gear and damaging anything else in the safe.

I love the sewn-in sling swivels – made the price almost a wash compared with ordering a padded sling & swivel separately, and I got a hat & another ‘dillo along with the satisfaction of having more LT gear.
Still no Dillo Dust after a couple orders, though. Is there a certain amount you have to spend before getting any? So I am looking into my first AR15 purchase and after some great feedback from the AR15.com community, I have my heart set on LaRue.
In reviewing, I found the LaRue Tactical OBR 5.56 18″ to really catch my eye, then later found the LaRue Tactical PredatAR 5.56 18″ – though I see some of the differences in the features tab, I wanted to get some feedback from the LaRue Tactical community on the real major differences.
