Thanks 1Hobie
My SKS is of the older type with the free floating firing pin -- no spring. The firing pin was actually frozen in place at the point where just enough was protruding to barely strike the primer. I could only image what it would have been like if it stuck further out. I had to beat it out. I will call that guy in Bowie Tx and see what he can do for me. Vr chiefr
