Yes I do. Sorry I did not see your message sooner.Still got it?
It does not appear to have a firing pin spring. It just goes back in forth like there is no tension.Nice.
There are probably 3 in existence that still have orig bluing on the buttplate. Maybe a few in Russian museums. Lol
The unfurbed ones usually still have the number etched into the buttplate. But more often it's just worn off.
You really need to pull the gas tube and piston off. You need to be certain what you've got with this rifle. Just remember there's a short piston in the sight block that's under spring tension. There's plenty of YouTube's that show how easy it is to almost completely strip down a sks. Takes about 5 minutes once you've done it a few. Just don't take apart the trigger block (really bad idea) or bayo spring assembly. However to get the cleaning god out you you need to unlatch the bayo and have it hang down halfway between stowed and deployed.
Did you check the bolt? Do you have a spring loaded firing pin or not?
No spring present.DID YOU CHECK THE BOLT ???
Did you check the gas tube and long piston for EP numbers? It's easy to pull off the tube you know.
How about the bolt, spring loaded firing pin? Correct stamped number?

Do you still think the price is fair? If it doesnt sell in a week its going on GB. A worse condition one just sold for $1k a few days ago.Somehow I didn't see your post. Looks like they replaced the gas tube but at least kept it paired with its original long rod. Which means probably a Russian Arsenal checked out your rifle before releasing it. Very, very mild refurb. Nice SKS.
Interesting about your bolt, sometime in that year they went to a floating firing pin.
Was the "D" character more like "Д" or "Б"? And was the "F" more like "Г"?No spring present.
Two weird russian character looks almost like a DF then 669. Both long piston and tube have same number
Bolt matches everything else on gun and does not have a spring.
