SKS: Is my hot barrel causing accuracy issues?

[MK Wheelie]

Stevo, no mods whatsoever, it's just as I got it out of the box. It was perplexing, as at first, I couldn't see what was happening to my shots. It was at the end of the day at the range, so when I started missing the target, I just chaulked it up to fatigue.

It just so happened, I had my video camera set up to record where I was hitting. When I viewed it at home is when I saw where the errant bullets were going. After that, I took carefull note when I was shooting the CZ. It's pretty consistant. 60 rounds on the nose, and away goes the accuracy.

I have no idea why, or even if I can fix the problem. But like you say, "interesting." I just thought that PC's comment may be a remote possibility as to what is happening.

I'm sure this problem is limited to my rifle, and not to the 858 in general. Another person I shoot with, has the restricted version and has no problems.

Cheers, MK
