isassembly of the carbine can be partial or complete. Partial disassembly is conducted
for cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting the carbine. Complete disassembly is conducted
for cleaning an extremely dirty carbine, after it has been exposed to rain or snow, during
transition to a new lubricant, and during repair. Excessive frequent disassembly is
harmful to the carbine, since it accelerates wear on the components and mechanisms.
Conduct disassembly and assembly on a table or clean mat. Place components and
mechanisms on the mat in sequence of disassembly, handling them carefully. Do not use
excessive efforts or sharp blows during disassembly and assembly. Training in
disassembly and assembly can be conducted with combat carbines only in exceptional
circumstances, while observing special caution in handling the components and
mechanisms.
Sequence of Partial Disassembly of the SKS Carbine:
Check to ensure that the carbine is unloaded.
1) Pull out the combination tool with accessories (Figure 1). Hold the carbine in the left
hand, and push with the finger of the right hand on the cover of the buttstock well,
allowing the combination tool to come out under spring pressure. Open the combination
tool, and remove the patch holder, bore brush, and drift.
