DO NOT take the sear out. If you can get it to fire this way it will fire ALL
of the magazine until empty. You will have no control over it. Very
dangerous, not to mention illegal. Semi-automatic fire is much better for two
reasons. You will probably hit what you are aiming at and your ammo lasts
longer. I have a russian SKS. Bought it when they first hit the country and
paid $169 for it. A few years later at a local gun show, a vendor had tow ten
foot tables stacked a couple of feet high with Russian SKSes and was asking
$88 for them. I did not buy any because I had one already. I can't see the
future any better than you can Kirk. Oh, and that strange oil that was
everywhere was cosmoline. Used to store guns for over 100 years.

Thanks for the info, very interesting stuff. I was not aware of the
chroming involved. Typical high quality stuff from the Chinese as they
always build stuff to the highest level of quality. Ha ha ha. When a
product comes from China, you always know that they take the extra steps
necessary to insure the highest quality of their goods. . right? LOL
I paid $99.0 for it back in the early 1990's. They are not for sale anymore
at the gun stores. When I got it. . it was covered in a strange oil. .
that stuff was everywhere.
It also has a cleaning kit that hides in the butt end under a little flap
that is notorius for getting your finger stuck . . and can be pretty painful
at that.
I kick myself everytime I think about it, as mentioned before, the AK's were
selling for $350. I wish I had been smart enough to have bought three AK's
while I was there.
But not me. . I am the guy who chose, in the early 70's, to buy a GIbson SG
(strange model with mini humbuckers plastic covered) instead of a 1950's
Fender Telecaster that would be worth a lot of money today. . both were
selling, at the time, for $250.0. I guess I never see the future coming!
My son in law had it for a while and bought a thousand rounds of hollow
points. So I now have enough lead to hold off a small army. . for at least
a few minutes.
I guess you can take the seer out and it will fire in automatic mode? Not
sure if I want to mess with it or how hard that is to do?
