SKS Basics 🏴‍☠️ Chinese SKS Series Pt 3 Descriptive Reassembly 🌕

Описание: This is Part 3 — the final installment of our fully accessible three-part series on the Chinese Type 56 SKS semi-automatic rifle, designed especially for new owners and visually impaired viewers. In this video, I guide you through complete step-by-step reassembly using precise, detailed verbal instructions only, so you can confidently put everything back together by feel, sound, and tactile feedback.
Starting from a fully field-stripped rifle, we rebuild in the proper reverse order: reinstalling the trigger group with proper engagement clicks, inserting the bolt and bolt carrier, aligning and seating the gas tube and handguard, replacing the recoil spring assembly and receiver cover, unfolding and attaching the spike bayonet, loading the fixed magazine, and performing a final function check. Every step includes exact hand placement, what resistance or “snaps” you should feel, alignment tips, and common mistakes to avoid — perfect for surplus SKS rifles that may have tight tolerances or residual cosmoline.
This completes the accessible series:
Part 1: External overview and history
Part 2: Full descriptive field disassembly
Part 3 (this video): Complete descriptive reassembly and function check
Always prioritize safety: verify the rifle is unloaded before and after reassembly, keep your finger off the trigger, and point in a safe direction. A successful function check ensures safe operation.
