Yugo M70AB2. Need help. Break in period???

[Bypass]

Anyone have any experience with one of these brand new out of the box? Was yours extremely tight? I am talking so tight that it doesn't want to go into battery with the first round out of a full magazine. It gets about half way through a cycle and hangs up. It doesn't actually hang up on anything it just seems to be extremely tight. I have to remove the first three rounds from my mags to get the weapon to function a little more adequately to go into battery fully. It is tight tight. I have never seen a AK so tight in my life. If anyone has experienced the same thing let me know and approximately how long you have to break (rounds fired) the weapon in before it became smooth operation..

Does it have the RPK receiver? Mine ran like a top out of the box.

I believe that link references a PAP. Bypass has a M70ab2. Although there is some helpful info in that thread.

It isn't failing per say it just seems to need a break in period. No double feeds or any of that. No real hang ups. It is just extremely tight. So tight that it is going to need to be broken in. I am just curious how long it will take and who else has experienced the same thing.

No worries mate. You had the right premise/idea.

Yeah, that's a strong receiver (RPK). I would sit in front of the TV/computer and just cycle all the way back and let it go forward on it's own. Mine was smooth out of the box, this one just may need a little breaking in. I love to use lithium grease on the BCG.

Just shoot the hell out of it. It will wear it self in. Mine was the same and its slick as butter now.
