will england :: SKS disassembly, page 4will england :: SKS disassembly, page 4Next, we need to remove the gas tube and piston. If you look just in front of the rear sight, and on the right side of the rifle, you'll see a lever you can move up. Move this up about 45 degrees. (see figure one) This removes a block and allows you to lift the gas tube and piston out.
It may be a bit tight getting the gas tube to separate from the gas port on the barrel -- be firm, but gentle. You don't want to bend anything -- parts are getting hard to find in the US. Also, watch for the piston to fall out from the gas-tube. It'll come out the end nearest the muzzle of the rifle.
