Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This 1954 Tula-manufactured SKS represents one of the classic examples of the Soviet Simonov carbine, a design that bridged the gap between World War II–era battle rifles and the emerging generation of intermediate-cartridge assault rifles. Built with the typical Tula quality of the mid-1950s and imported by CDI, this rifle features the standard 20-inch barrel, blued finish, and the rugged semi-automatic action that made the SKS dependable in harsh field conditions. Its hooded front sight and adjustable tangent rear sight reflect the rifle’s military origins, designed for quick, reliable target engagement across a range of distances. The smooth laminate wood stock is consistent with period construction, offering durability and stability while showcasing the distinct Soviet aesthetic of the era.

Although rendered obsolete in front-line Soviet service by the AK-47, the SKS remained widely used by border troops, reserve forces, and Cold War–era allies due to its reliability, simplicity, and the effective performance of the 7.62×39mm cartridge. This example embodies that history, reflecting a production run that contributed to millions of SKS rifles serving across the globe. In both military and civilian contexts, the SKS has long been valued for its balance, shootability, and robust engineering—traits fully represented in this 1954 Tula rifle.
