I shot yugo 50's surplus and never had a problem. My gas port was pointing 6:30.
If I remember right, I initially shot S&B commercial and did fine, but I think I opened my port one click more toward 7-ish??? Hard to remember; I never went back after getting my hands on the yugo.
I shot a box of winchester silver box low recoil 8mm that a friend gave me and the Hakim didn't cycle well.

How does the Romanian work? Initially, my Hakim had cycling issues b/c of gunk in the chamber and would lock up trying to extract. For fear of returning to more time with the brushes, I always avoided lacquered ammo.

They're fun, but wear your glasses--surplus sometimes spits back.
