“Simonov didnt make it full auto, but if you let the firing pin get real dirty it will slam fire like a full auto.”

I’ve heard of that, too.

I heard you can get a firing pin specially redesigned to prevent that. Know anything about that?

Its Chinese automatic rifle based upon SKS, and redesigned for civilian market.

Here is the site to get replacement firing pins that are safer and US made.
