Hey all,
   Happy to join the scene...
Got a old hand me down SKS from pops.  Ready to learn more...

Welcome from New Mexico. Glad to have you here. Post up your warehouse and we will most likely ooh and aah over it.

Thanks for the kind replies... So now have a question.
Took it to the range and have a problem. Looks like a shell did not extract properly and the neck of the steel case is stuck in the chamber.

So bought a extraction tool and it failed to remove the neck of the shell casing !!

Any suggestions on how to get this out?? Been struggling for hours with no luck.   Thanks!

Here is a image of what a round looks like trying to go in, at this point....


So you can see, there is some spent schell left in there.  I am needing some advice...
Thanks !

I would try soaking the broken case in penetrating oil overnight. Get a brass chamber brush with solvent in there to scrub out any rust/hardened preservative beyond the broken neck to maximize your chances of a sharp case edged for the broken case extractor to grab onto. Then loosen up the broken case extractor and make sure it's past the neck of the broken case, tighten it well and try short hard raps on it with a hammer on a lubricated rod inserted down from the muzzle end.
