[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1155621, member: 543"] I have had slam fire(s) in the past. Remington factory 7.62x39 in an SKS that had been very well cleaned (including the firing pin channel). I released the bolt and it fired 4 shots with my finger not close to the trigger. Luckily it was sand-bagged well or things may have become very interesting. Being young and stupid, I loaded 2 more rounds in the mag and repeated the slam fire experience. I finished that box of ammo loading only 1 at a time and not letting the bolt fall so far when chambering them. Military rifles with floating firing pins need harder primers for slam fire insurance. BTDT and don't care to repeat the experience. [/QUOTE]
