      I removed the firing pin detent on a Draco-C, and rather than it pushing out under pressure, i had to tap it out and now one end is bent.
      It tapped back in, although harder than before, but assuming I should order another one?
      Was first time of it being disassembled and a 1968 build. Now, the extractor removal went great, put in a polish spring to replace and it's launching the casings now on a dry cycle! (That's why I broke it down, to upgrade the extractor)

  • @ChrisUrsiny
    @ChrisUrsiny 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    great informative vid sir, i do have one good recommendation when cleaning use fast drying brake cleaner instead of ballistol on the exterior and interior of the bolt, this will in my opinion get rid of 99.99% of all trace residue power/dirt and use an air gun to thoroughly remove any left over debris as well. also hit the firing pins angled tip part of the head where it locks up in the bolt face with a soft wire brush, this will keep firing pin as free floating as possible in the channel.

    Keep shooting it and break it in! PEW PEW PEW! Make sure that you are not over lubricating your bolt, and leave your firing pin dry. AK's really do not need much lubrication.

  • @nsz85
    @nsz85  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No worries! just use a little bit of oil (A LITTLE BIT) and use a small hammer with the punch to assist you with getting it in.

  • @nsz85
    @nsz85  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is in AK so it really does not matter if there is some on there, but I would suggest a bronze brush if you were to do it!

    I've put over 6000 rounds thru my ak and never cleaned it until my brother who has 22 years in the army and ran the arms room asked to see it and I broke it down and couldn't believe how dirty it is and still worked perfectly. Then he proceeded to clean every bit of it. Personally I want to see how far it would go before jamming. And it never did.

    I recently bought psak47 gf3 and I am having a problem with the bolt sticking when pulled all the way back. I noticed it is doing this because the bolt rises slightly and catches on the rails. Is this something that should work itself out or should I use a buffer or contact the manufacturer?

    No worries, we all have to ask questions to learn. I wasn't born with the knowledge I have ya know! :-) Yes, you are assuming correctly. If you lube the inside of that area, it won't help anything except attract dirt, sand, carbon, and crap it wouldn't if you just left it dry.

    Had problems with my Waffen Works milled AK74 purchased from AGS Armament. After first 5 rounds, the spent casing came only partially out of the chamber and then bolt & carrier continued to cycle and feed next round up against partially extracted round (jam). Had to use cleaning rod to get spent round out of chamber.
    This happened on each consecutive shot thereafter. Manual cycling was smoothe and with no problems. Completely disassembled , cleaned, and wire brushed extractor with bronze brush the bolt components. Reassembled bolt, finished cleaning rest of firearm and tested. Shot 3 10 round mags wiyh wolf and red army std ammo out of k var 10 R&D and tapco 10 round mags without any problems. Zeroed the weapon and then fined tuned the sights at 100 meters. Milled receiver is awesome with final 3 shot group 1.5 in at 100 meters right on bullseye using iron sights. No moe extraction problems. Very happy after I thought I had a major problem!

    So i just took my bolt apart on my PSL type AK54R because I was having light primer strikes today at the range. I found the firing pin was binding and not dropping free. I cleanes the pin and inside of the firing pin channel and noticed it is better, but still binds slightly. 1 thing I did notice was the pin that holds the firing pin in, was worn almost halfway through on a section of the retaining pin. Do you know where I could order a retaining pin for my PSL?

    My buddy's AK wouldn't fire. After I took the bolt apart, the firing pin was not in there! I later found it laying by the trigger spring. Odd thing is the retaining pin was still in place. The strike face of the firing pin was also bent. I thought this was really odd.
