How to reassemble SKS

I need instructions on how to put the original 10 round magazine and trigger group into a wood stock SKS.

The front tang of the magazine fits over a flat looking spur at the front of the mag well. You have to put the mag in first by sliding it up onto the spur. Then push the magazine down into the mag well. The bolt should be locked back when you do this.

The trigger assembly hold the mag in place. Put the safety in the off or forward position then slide the front end of the trigger assembly into the trigger well. The front of the assembly has a cross pin that inserts into the receiver and holds the mag in. When you've done that push the trigger assembly down into the stock keeping frontward pressure on it. There is a tang on the rear of the receiver that snaps into the rear end of the trigger assembly which holds it in place. It believe there are SKS manuals with diagrams which are on the net which you could look at if you have a question.
