“To the poster that said an SKS is not an assault rifle: sorry, yes it is. It may be only single shot, but it is a variant of a fully automatic gun.”

No, it’s not. The SKS is not a variant of anything. It was a semi-auto from day 1, and NEVER fully automatic by design.

sometimes, firing that corrosive ammo and not cleaning the bolt face causes the firing pin to freeze. Then when the trigger is pulled, the entire 10 round mag will empty.
