I have a friends yardsale-bought Yugo, and I'm trying to help him get it in better shape but it's a real peice of junk. Crappy fiberforce installation, ill fitting usa "detatchable" mag, bent triggerguard, .....
When he got it it would fire once, empty would stick in the chamber, he smacked the bolt till it would drag the shell out, and just gave up.
First of all the recoil spring was in backwards, and it had definitley been fired with alot of cosmoline still in it. I have cleaned this thing like crazy, Even scrubbed the chamber out with an old .44 mag brush. Everything works smooth when cycled. I even threw a ten round box on it to avoid dealing with that usa junk. It still wouldn't cycle when I tested it. So I put the gas tube of off my Yugo on it for another run.
Now, it will fire and feed. But it won't eject the last shell when it's empty..
what should I do next?
