Sks Not Chambering Round

[Chameleon Loco]

I went shooting today with my russian 54 sks for the first time in over a year. The last time i had a round lock the action and did not eject. When i got home i field stripped the rifle cleaned and lubricated it then put back into the safe. Fast foward today i loaded wolf yellow box onto yugo stripper clips and then loaded the rifle. The bolt did not close on the action all the way, trigger is locked and when i cycled the action to clear i noticed that the bullet was pushed deep back into the case. The action closes shut on a empty chamber and the rifle can be dry fired. I am wondering if this is a chamber issue or a magazine issue, maybe something else?

Check for a broken case neck stuck in the chamber. I bought a Mosin Nagant that had that problem. I had to buy a broken case extractor the remove it. When you by one make sure you get the right one they are caliber specific.

You solved it. i just checked the bore and can see it with a flashlight. I will go ahead and order one thank you for your help

Yeah that's a pretty good sign pushing back consistent glad you found it

You may be able to get the case out by pushing a .45 bronze brush threaded to a rod from the breech end into the case neck and pulling it back to the rear.

Broken case extractor came today, will attempt to remove it in a bit. The stuck case is from 7.62x39 brass cased geco ammunition. I never had an issue before shooting wolf and tula copper jacketed 7.62x39.

Try as i might i wasnt able to get the case out, the broken case extractor would not even fit into the case. Took it to the gunsmith and he also used a broken case extractor and had the same result. He ended up taking the gun in and told me a six week turnaround

That's a bummer.

I have used a broken bolt extractor that fits snug in the case mouth. Hammered it in, used a small steel rod inserted in the barrel from muzzle, and hammer the rod.

Old trick is to get a tapping die and tap the casing. Then with the tap inserted use a rod and slowing tap out the casing.

Man that sucks Op. I’ve never fed any of my SKS’s any brass. Guess I won’t. Hard to find a more dependable platform. My old SVT had case sticking issues.
