Unissued SKS Cosmoline Removal

This video provides a comprehensive guide to removing cosmoline from a surplus SKS rifle, essential for safe and reliable operation. It details the field stripping process, effective cleaning methods using mineral spirits and tools like RamRodz, and emphasizes critical areas such as the bolt and gas system to prevent slam fires. Proper reassembly and lubrication are also covered, concluding with successful range testing.

This video details the lubrication process for an SKS rifle, emphasizing its importance for preventing malfunctions and wear. Key areas to lubricate include the firing pin, bolt, bolt carrier, receiver interior, and trigger group. Proper application involves a thin coat of oil to critical moving parts and a lightly oiled patch for the receiver to prevent rust. Excess oil should be wiped off before reassembly.

This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to reassembling the SKS rifle, focusing on key components like the receiver, trigger guard, gas system, and bolt carrier. It emphasizes proper seating of parts, correct orientation of springs, and the importance of a function test to ensure safe and correct reassembly. The expert instruction highlights specific techniques for locking mechanisms and component alignment.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to cleaning and disassembling the Yugoslavian SKS rifle. It details effective cosmoline removal using mineral spirits and demonstrates a full field strip, including the trigger group, bolt, receiver, and gas system. The importance of cleaning the free-floating firing pin to prevent slam fires is emphasized, along with reassembly tips.

This video provides a clear and concise guide on how to modify an SKS bolt face to prevent popped primers, a common issue. The creator emphasizes that minimal tools are required and the process takes approximately 10 minutes. A link to Murray's Guns for further information is also provided.

This video demonstrates an effective oven method for removing cosmoline from small surplus firearm parts like bayonets and oil bottles. The process involves preheating an oven to 275°F and using a silicone tray to catch the melting cosmoline. While efficient, the speaker warns of a strong odor and recommends ventilation. After cleaning, a light oil coat is advised for protection.

This video hilariously tests a heavily accessorized AR-15, dubbed the 'Zombie Carbine,' as a parody of excessive tactical gear. The build, based on a Smith & Wesson M&P15, weighs 23 pounds fully loaded with 270 rounds across nine magazines. It features multiple optics, lasers, lights, and is demonstrated with rapid fire, hip sniping, and Tannerite explosions.

This "ultimate AR-15 meltdown" test pushes a custom build to its limits, revealing key durability insights. The Faxon barrel ultimately burst after 830 rounds, but critical components like the Sharps SRC bolt carrier group and Geissele rail demonstrated impressive resilience under extreme stress and heat. The test highlights the AR-15 platform's robust design, even when subjected to conditions far exceeding typical operational use.

This video showcases an extreme full-auto durability test of a premium Definitive Arms VEPR AK, comparing it to a budget WASR-10. The VEPR AK demonstrated exceptional resilience, enduring 895 rounds before failure, significantly outperforming the WASR-10 and even a previously tested AR-15. The expert analysis highlights the AK platform's inherent durability and heat management characteristics, even under severe stress.

This video demonstrates the legendary durability of the AK platform by subjecting a Yugo M92 PAP to a 700-round continuous firing test. Despite extreme heat causing significant smoke and glowing metal, the firearm remained functional, showcasing Mikhail Kalashnikov's robust engineering. The test concludes with a cooling process and a tribute to the designer's legacy.
