Do you have to shoot it to feel the slap? 🤣Just wondering, have you noticed any trigger-slap with the Russian, versus other SKS's? I had a buddy that had several, including 2 Russians, and those things used to start hurting my trigger finger after a few rounds, and I never got that with any Chi-coms.
I haven't shot the Russian yet. My other Chinese SKS's didn't exhibit any. The only rifle I think I ever remember doing that was a Romanian build that I installed an OG FCG in. And it wasn't even that bad. If I get to shoot this one, I'll report back...
