Yugo sks for JRC 40 cal carbine

Doobie · Oct 31, 2014

Hey fellas I have a Yugo sks that I bought several years ago. I paid extra for hand select and got a really nice one with matching numbers, great blueing, nice stock, the little leather pouch containing sling, oil can and whatever else.The rifke also has the factory "night sights" which were "dead" when I got it. It is a great shooter. A fellow wants to trade me a JRC 40 cal with 500 rounds ammo for my sks with 200 rounds ammo and $200 boot. Opinions please

Thanks for the reply. I've read a little about the JRC but no first hand knowledge. Ive been wanting a pistol caliber carbine (been looking at Hi points) and the Yugo just collects dust. I just didnt want to lose my behindm

I'd say go for it... that sounds like a good trade to me.

Doobie · Oct 31, 2014

Thanks guys. Anything I should look for or need to know concerning the JRC?

lee2 · Oct 31, 2014

i would ask what ammo he's used.

Doobie · Oct 31, 2014

Ok lee2.Such as corrosive or steel case or something?

what i meant is that some guns prefer a certain type of ammo in their caliber.
whether .22lr or .40sw.
if he's had any issues with a certain brand.

Early on I had issues feeding in my .45 jrc. Opened up the feed ramp and it's flawless with factory mags. If yours is misfeeding a lot take a look at the ramp too. Fun little gun with lots of options!

Oh gotcha lee2 thanks. And good to know brentona. Exactly how did you open up the feed ramp?

i would think slight polishing would be enough. each rifle differs and may not need anything.

Doobie · Oct 31, 2014

Ok thanks lee2. A dremel with a felt or wool wheel?

....and some polishing compound. start out with the fine stuff first. its easy to remove metal, but hard to put it back on.

I would keep the SKS but that's just me. JRC doesn't do anything for me

Really? Why would you keep it? I like to hear both sides of any decision

lee2 · Oct 31, 2014

in my opinion the yugo sks is the bottom of the list as far as guality is concerned. meaning it wasnt chromed lined and was subject of corrosion, unlike the other sks variants.

the SKS is a battle rifle but the JRC doesn't really do anything for me. I prefer the 7.62x39 over the .40 S&W. I think the only advantage for me would be using the mags for the rifle and a pistol.

just me....I don't own a .40 but a have a few SKS's and a few AKM's just wouldn't make sense for me.

The established way is a buffing wheel or attachment for a dremel. Start with black emory paste, then a hard metal polishing paste or chromium oxide, and finish with white rouge. Best way to correct geometry for AK hammers that drag against the carrier as well.

This method is the only thing that has made any of the kel tec pistols I've owned anywhere near reliable.
