FYI:
I was having an FTE (stovepipe) problem on a new to me SKS.
Finally, I was able to find a burr in the rear sight housing, where the piston extension fits into. It was not allowing the piston extension to push back like it should. The bore of that housing is about the same diameter as a casing, and with a piece of 400 grit sandpaper, I was able to smooth things out to eliminate the problem.
Thought I would pass it along, I've had a couple of SKS's, but never heard of this issue.
