[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 866945, member: 7898"] The reason the SKS "slam-fires" sometimes is because people fail to clean their bolt/firing pin out when they get it. The firing pin didn't originally have a spring to force it back after each shot, so with a build-up of grease from storage they can get stuck and fire every time the bolt closes. It's easy to fix, get a dang spring. All of my Saigas have spring loaded firing pins, but I'm not sure about older versions. I would assume they all have the same feature. [/QUOTE]
