I have a yugo SKS M59/66. Its a fantastic firearm. However, sometimes when Im out at the range shooting, it will completely lockup. Its usually at a random interval. It will function normally, and then it will no longer cycle. It will fire, cycle, fire, not cycle. When you go to cycle the weapon manually, the action is completely locked up. In order to unlock the weapon, I am as so far, unsure of what the correct procedure is. It usually entails completely stripping the weapon down, including removing the trigger group and the magazine. Its usually then by a heavy amount of finagling by which I am able to unlock the bolt/bolt carrier group. I can not under any circumstances recreate the malfunction without actually shooting the gun.
Ill admit, that I havent really researched this subject as much as I could have, but on several occasions I have googled the problem with limited to no results actually talking about a problem like the one I am experiencing. I would like to resolve the problem myself, rather than having to take it to a gunsmith for what is more than likely not a problem that will require his/her attention.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Will be willing to travel to range with firearm to reproduce the malfunction for anyone who wants to see it in action.
