Hm. I find your experience with the SKS far from typical. By and large, most SKS feeding issues are tracked back to aftermarket magazines.
What kind of SKS do you have? What ammo are you using? Is the rifle fully cleaned of cosmolene and storage grease? Is the chamber clean? The extractor in good repair? The ejector? If it is a Yugo SKS, is the gas system tight (no leaks)?
Most folks find the SKS to be dead nuts reliable...maybe we can find your problem?
