I've checked several different schematics.  Where is this spare disconnector you need a spring for?  I can't seem to find it.  :P

(You know somebody had to say it.  I looked on the bulliten board and saw it was my turn.)

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Not me, but you get a Gold Star for the day for correct use of the verb  =)

Prevents the disconnector from disconnecting.

Which in turn would allow the hammer to follow the bolt forward after chambering a round...

So the hammer is following the bolt forward, and the bolt body at the hammer end is at least keeping the firing pin from getting a full thwack.

I'd look at the primer of the chambered round for a slight firing pin dent, anyway.   ;)

Yep. Light strike

Firing full auto in that way, if it happened, would be dangerous. Real full auto AKs have a number of differences that ensure the thing won't fire out of battery. This ak, if that happened, could.

I had an SKS burn me real bad going full auto.

The thing that makes me nervous is if the firing pin got jammed in the bolt.  =|

You pull back the bolt and release it, and the gun dumps the whole mag  :O

I shake it fore and aft so I can hear the pin rattle back and forth.

That's a problem on SKSs when dirty. That's why I liked my Russian. Had the retaining spring

I guess in the early 50s they got rid of that.
