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?
Before it was ever fired it was field stripped and cleaned. It DID come with an aftermarket mag and if have since removed the stock box mag has been replaced. The tips on the ammo I have been is quite soft and I think that could be part of the issue. Honestly I have been slack as of late and not taking it to the range and probably could have had some of these issues worked out.
