Christmas 2006 my wife Jenny got me a Yugo SKS (an M59/66.) Great gun except the spigot grenade launcher and it's associated sight assembly really unbalance the rifle in a muzzle-heavy fashion. When I first got in to guns and shooting, my second gun was a Romanian M56 SKS. I later traded it off for an SAR 1 AKM clone. So my sellers regret is what led me to get this second SKS; however, after initial cleaning and firing, I found this muzzle-heavy, flaw I so disliked it.
Part 1 begins by removing the grenade launching spigot. This is a fairly simple thing: remove the cross pin and spin off the spigot. Knocking the cross pin out is the easy part; spinning off the spigot, well, that's another. It requires some heat and generally a cheater bar (I used a set of vice grips, ,a length of pipe on the handle and with a steady pull, the spigot broke loose and spun right off.)
At this point, I cleaned off residual cosmoline/grease/oil off the threads and barrel. I'll address front sight removal in Part 2.
