Hey thanks for that Brother. Most of my videos are merely the easiest way I have found to clean, disassembly and reassemble firearms. This one in particular I had a tough time with, couldn’t find a consistent or easy video on how to put in the bolt and receiver cover so after messing around stumbled onto this way and I have received a lot of positive feedback. Thanks for watching and subscribing, happy pew pew on.

Thank you Brother. it took me a while to figure out this method as I too saw many other “how to” videos on it and never could do it easily or consistently. thanks for watching and the comment, hope this helps you during your firearm cleaning and maintenance.

thanks Brother. as long as the little pin on the dust cover latch comes out easy and if the rear sight doesn’t have the little pin in it then yes it’s pretty simple. if you go this route remember the leave in the rear sight spring plate or the rail will wobble. I also found the quick release pin was useless too as it left play on the rear of the rail, I ended up using the solid pin that also came with the kit instead so it all stays true to hold zero. I do have a video coming out on July 10 th of the range tests, works pretty good, fun shooter. I have no plans for a mag mod… yet 👍

thank you👍

hey Brother thanks for watching and the feedback 👍

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you Brother on viewing and for leaving a comment. Gotta love the Henry rifles 👍.

There is a video of the range tryout for this build coming out on July 10/2024. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Brother. The range I use is at 100 yards and I was able to get some decent grouping with the SKS build using the Bushnell Banner scope and using surplus Russian ammo.

Thanks Brother, SKS is the one I enjoy the most, easy to clean, take apart, great history to them and a fun shooter 👍🍺

Thanks Brother, I have a video dropping on July 24th explaining what I had to do to get the darn thing working. Thanks for watching and the comment, cheers.

@@JohnVanDyk MY PLEASURE BRO....are you from Canada?

@@crypto6347 yes

I hear that Brother, even longer if they have a tapco mag… my Guv sucks when it comes to firearms. The SKS is on the hot list, they are trying to ban them so I get out with them as much as possible, cheers thanks for watching and the comment.

@@JohnVanDyk 🍻

Glad to help

amen to that 👍❤️

Thank you, I only have the Remington 870 videos as my other Shotguns are all break action and don’t really lend themselves to a field strip video. That being said I could do some reviews and range test videos. Perhaps I can convince some of my buddies to loan me their shotguns for some “how to” videos. Thanks for the input, cheers 👍👍👍

Hello and thank you for tuning in to my little channel. I never heard of this Treaty before you mentioned it in the comment. I looked up info on it online and I’m not sure of the possible correlation between the WHO Treaty and these wellness checks. I’m hoping you could enlighten me as that’s what my channel is all about, the exchange of ideas, thoughts and experience. Thank you again for the comment and I hope to hear back from you. Cheers 🙂

Exactly👍

just the typical Guv over reach up here. People need to know what’s going on and how to protect their rights. our Guv pops out the “emergency measures act” which is basically Martial Law at any whim to be able to use the Military to “assist” local law enforcement. I believe they are testing the waters for future Military use towards civilians. Scary times up here right now. How’s things in sunny California?

@@JohnVanDyk California is close to Constitutional Carry. I believe if Trump wins? He lift a lot of gun restrictions.

Great thing about voting, I always go with the lesser of the evils in Canada… but I will never vote for any party who takes away my freedoms like our current Guv does. As for the ability for EDC here it will never happen 😢 too bad because the criminals don’t follow that law and if you try to protect your stuff or even your life here, you may end up being charged, so so backwards. I know you all are facing constant threat and firearm restrictions but I tell you I do admire your 2a would be nice to have something similar here. Cheers Brother.

Lol he clearly has it in the description and at the beginning of the video to never try this with or even near ammo. Only to decock the pistol after cleaning or last round spent all so you don’t have to dry fire it. I have used this method too for a long time and it does the job. Maybe you should read the description and watch the video again lol. Great video Johnsfirearms 👍👍👍

Hi and thank you for watching and the comment. I am not sure why you are saying this? are you not familiar with “snap caps”? I mention several times about not doing this with live rounds, that I only do this after cleaning as an alternative to a dry fire. pew on Brother.

Hey Brother thanks for the comment, you are, of course entitled to your opinion. I don’t think it is ruined, just the opposite. it can all be reversed with no signs of the build, but I did think long and hard over it before proceeding. I already have a “trailer queen” SKS that I am merely babysitting until it gets willed down so I wanted to see just how far and how accurate this one could actually perform.I really can appreciate your view on this however as I once was a purist and considered it an abomination to alter any milsurp firearm. Life is short my friend, have fun, be safe and pew pew on 👍

thank you Brother, I try to make my videos easy to follow so one day my Son can watch them and learn “how to” once he inherits them.

thank you for watching and for the comment. this is so easy to do and I really like the result. just one subtle way to set your GSG-16 away from the look of all the other ones out there. Cheers Brother, not sure if you have one of these rifles but would love to hear back if you do have one and try this mod.

Very welcome

wow thank you for the comment Brother. I am glad my little channel here is helping others, be safe, have fun and cause no harm friend.

Thank you! Cheers!

thanks for watching and leaving a comment. love these pistols, easy to work on, reliable and decent accuracy.

yes good. 👍

when I ordered it , it was advertised as the V2 model, has it stamped on the slide too. I think it’s the same as the MC28 just the latest edition. decent price friendly pistol. Glad I got mine before the ban in Canada.. thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

yes I have noticed it’s not a true clearing of the firearm. it has been pointed out to me and I have edited the description to reflect just that. good catch just the same on safety 👍 my future videos now have a prerecorded video added at the beginning on firearm clearing. Thank you for watching and for the comment.

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.

متاسفم نمی توانم این کار را انجام دهم 🙂

nice 👍 I didn’t feel like babysitting this one for someone else to own after I’m long gone lol… gotta make them work for us, thanks for your comment and viewing my little video.

Wow thank you for the compliment.

Thanks for watching!

I can appreciate your view on this as believe it or not I do respect and love Milsurps in general but especially the SKS. I do own an unfired 1952 Tula with the gold tinge bayo, that will not see ammo as long as I own it. I did do my best to hide any alterations and I believe I can mend the tiny hole I drilled if I wish to put it back to stock. the reason I didn’t go with an ATI chassis is simply because of the rich colour in the original stock and wanting it to still retain its SKS appeal to me. Cheers and thank you for your comment.

Ahhh yes I see your point, if I refer to the other two ammo types in the video by their full moniker I should have done the same for the 22 Long Rifle or the opposite referred to them as S, L & LR respectively.Cheers thanks for the input👍

Thank you for your comment/question. it is the belief that the springs will be fine if left full load, I do not leave it full load however so I can not confirm this. The barrel on these pistols is like most others, the service life depends on several factors. the amount of ammo through it, how it has been maintained, how it is stored etc, will all play into the service life. many of these pistols are from the late 50’s and still maintain a lot of service life. keep it clean, lubed and store in a dry place, be careful if using surplus corrosive ammo as clean up must be more thorough.

Sir Chinese tt pistol magazine capacity is 8 rounds & if i put 7 rounds in magazine all the year then it's magazine spring will be spoiled or not ?

Sir, I can not answer your question more than I have already. I do not leave my magazines loaded unless I’m on my way to the range.

wow I will watch out for those on the barrel lock too. it’s too bad the receiver is so punky because it’s a good accurate rifle. I even tried old Cooey 64 parts as they are related, but they were just slightly off in dimensions. thanks for the comment and happy plinking brother.

Just bought my first Savage 64F from Canadian tire. Didn’t pay attention on the front sight when I was in the store but found the front sight a bit off the center when I got home. It’s brand new I guess. It’s not big deal as I can push it to the center.

on the Henry I have there is only the one butt stock screw and the fore stock has none. mine is a newer model, maybe you have an older model? thanks for you comment.

👍 thank you

Thanks

noiiice 👍👍. the SD is the same as my Special Edition I think the only difference is mine came with their GSG Red Dot. I’m still trying to sort out the drum mag 110 rounder. thanks for the comment Brother.

@@JohnVanDyk Sorry I don't have the 15 22, it's the 522 SD.

ok I get it now. many Canadians are trying to dress up their GSG 16 to look like the 522 or as you know to look like the MP5. they

yes absolutely upon re watching this video I did not safe check the firearm properly on camera. I assure you I do ensure my firearms are safe before engaging in any repair/ cleaning… good call though thank you for the comment 👍👍

the firing pin is a bit tricky, I will try to get a video on it soon. as for the trigger, I have never needed to remove one so I am sorry but hays outside my knowledge.

do you have the exact model as in this video? the Girsan MC 28 V2 and if so are you in need asap a video on firing pin install?

I put up a video on the firing pin removal and install, look for the link at the end of this video.

wow thanks Brother.

we all have our opinions on this kinda thing. I once was a purist and considered it taboo to alter these fine relics. I pondered a long time before embarking on this build. When I pulled the plug and decided to go for it, I made sure and was careful to make sure I could re install all parts to original. I did not see any sense in owning a “trailer queen SKS” life is short, I make them (firearms)work for me and in some cases that means a mod here and there. Now that being said I would not have altered this particular rifle had it not already been adulterated with corrosive ammo. thanks for your comment as I could certainly agree 100% in my past, cheers Brother.

How'd you get a non-refurbished Russian SKS when none were imported into the US?

@@toska3528 I am in Canada, not too sure but I’m thinking they were not banned from import here… yet. Thanks for the comment Brother.

@@JohnVanDyk ah, gotcha. I was gonna say, because the only rifles that Russia exported were refurbs, unless you got a Vietnam bring back or something lol

@@toska3528 Some were imported into the US, maybe 1%. It seems to me , most of the non refurbs came thru Century Arms. You can see some as issued SKS's on Gun Broker. You won't believe the prices on these. I got mine by pure luck at a gun show.

I need more information, I’m guessing the firing pin is still in?if it is it may be interfering with the retaining pin removal..

@@JohnVanDyk Hi, yes its the pin you remove so you can remove the extractor and firing pin. The firing pin or the extractor isn't stuck. It's the retaining pin, i normally can punch out on newer guns. This old one is stuck.

ok I see, I have not run into that before, except if my firing pin was too far back and the little low spot on it was not lined up with the retaining pin.if your firing pin moves freely in the bolt housing than its not in the way and I would try penetrating oil and maybe a press of some type next, to push out that pin so you can get at your extractor and firing pin. good luck

yes I have heard that but I have also seen people load it from the top still, just one at a time tho, no stripper clip.

had it out to the range and it was easily loaded from the top, just can’t use the stripper clips.

Thanks Brother. I’m no professional at this stuff but my passion for all firearms keeps me going. currently working on four builds over the winter. We are limited in Canada (FJT) to what we can get so have to make do with what we have. i subscribed to your channel, I see some videos you have that in definitely in my wheelhouse.

@@JohnVanDyk absolutely!! California has restrictions too so you have to make it work best as you can. Look forward to seeing your builds! Make sure to tag me so I don’t miss it.👍🏾
