Yes, i am sure it has a better name than that....But... I was cleaning my letter D after a nice range session and was cussing up a storm about not being able to move the latch it was so tight. I tried a bullet tip, small screwdriver (gently) and then remembered the plastic car trim remover tools.
When i went to put it back in the safe i pulled out the 1950 and it had a different latch. The much easier and more friendly one i was thinking SKS's had.
This may be that i have just discovered a water is wet kinda thing in the sks world, but when did they change those?
