SKS bolt action

[JCita]

I have a Russian bolt action sks and a guy told me it could be converted into semi. Is this true? And if so how?

 

[Disposable Heart]

No.

SKS is already semi. Where did you get a bolt-action model?

There is no such thing as a bolt action SKS. Possibly it is a Mosin Nagant? Post a couple of pictures and we'll be able to help you with it.

Isn't there a way to disable the gas system so that you have to rack a round each time?

 

[pudly]

That is possible, but unlikely. I would call that a broken SKS, not a bolt-action SKS. That is why a picture would be helpful.

A semi-auto Mosin would be interesting, I have to admit.

It's called a PSL, and it IS!

The Yugoslav sks does have a gas cut off that was used for grenade launching. It would in effect make it a bolt action if you were firing normal bullets.

This. /\
I could take the gas rod out and get the bolt action affect.

either your gas valve needs moved to "semi-auto" (the button on the gas block should be turned down towards the barrel) or it's full of carbon and needs cleaned or quite possibly something broke or isn't assembled correctly in the gas system.

guess a bolt action sks isn't a collector's item

Shooting surplus corrosive ammo and not cleaning the rifle afterward will definitely make it a single shot. That gas piston will lock up tight.

Yep...mine was like that till I moved the cut off button.

Yes the Yogo is what I was thinking.
