ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED BEFORE WORKING ON OR CLEANING IT. Immediately after installing any spring, in any type of firearm that imparts power to a hammer(s), striker(s) or firing pin(s), as the case may be, with the firearm UNLOADED and without any trigger contact, actuate the firearm several times in a vigorous manner to make certain that the hammer(s), striker(s) or firing pin(s) are securely retained in the cocked position prior to let-off. Also, actuate the safety to determine that it is working properly. If during these tests, the hammer(s), striker(s), or firing pin(s) should fail or be released without trigger contact, or the safety does not work properly, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD OR FIRE THE FIREARM until corrective repairs are made. If any doubts ever exist concerning the safe operation of your firearm(s), consult your local Gunsmith. The above procedure also applies where recoil, bolt or action springs have been installed as well as with any spring replacement.
NOTE: Always wear high-quality safety eyeglasses when installing or fitting any springs, to prevent eye injury. High-quality safety eyeglasses should be used when shooting any firearm. DO NOT use ammunition exceeding standard factory pressure levels.
NOTE: The use of any after market product in your firearm may limit or void the manufactures warranty.
WARNING – Failure to follow this procedure may result in an accidental discharge, firearm damage and serious bodily injury. Always be certain that your firearm is functioning properly before use.
WARNING – Please urge caution when using reduced power hammer or striker springs in firearms, particularly in firearms used for critical applications such as law enforcement. Reduction of the hammer or striker spring may compromise the reliability of the firearm.

Trigger Job
Reading Materials:
Jamie Mangrum of www.surplusrifle.com
Jamie did a nice job and a lot of work on the Lil Miss. I learned from him. His site is no longer around I will describe what I did based on his work.
-Mostly work on the trigger assembly. Replaced the hammer spring, (stock 37, Wolffe 27 lbs), and the magazine release / sear spring. (Red Circle)
– polished (green) any rubbing surfaces, especially sear, and any moving parts. (like the glock, polish)
In 2011 I performed a sear / trigger work as told by Sailor Curt. I call that the final and level 2.
Purchased Products:
Wolffe Spring – SKS Performance pack $10
SKS Owners – Murrays Gunsmithing makes a spring for the firing pin and prevents slam fires. $22 for a chinese pin and spring.
I already had the shock buffer. (no longer use shock buffer)
Initial results from the bench using Winchester White Box 7.62 x 39, at 50 yards, open site , groups were 1 3/8 inches smaller after the trigger job. I might add, I use this rifle in USPSA matches.
SKS 7.62 x 39 AMMO:
I use Wolf and Winchester white box. In 2010 started testing other types and found golden tiger to be the most accurate.
