Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Produced exclusively for commercial export in the early 1990s prior to import restrictions, the Norinco SKS-M represents one of the most sought-after factory variants of the Simonov platform. Unlike standard SKS carbines that utilize fixed 10-round hinged magazines fed by stripper clips, the SKS-M was engineered directly from the factory w/ a modified receiver and specialized mag-well designed to feed standard high-capacity double-stack AK-47 magazines. Retaining Sergei Simonov's bulletproof short-stroke gas piston operating mechanism, tilting bolt lockup, and chrome-lined military-grade barrel, the SKS-M was factory-fitted into a comfortable Monte Carlo sporter wood stock and trimmed to a handy 16.5-inch barrel length without a bayonet lug. Manufactured in limited quantities primarily by State Factory 326 and imported by distributors like CSI (China Sports Inc.), the SKS-M perfectly bridged the gap between traditional SKS ergonomics and standard AK magazine versatility, establishing itself as a premier collector collectible among Chinese military rifle enthusiasts. This specific example is an authentic 1994-production Norinco SKS-M bearing serial number 94 56067, imported by CSI. Chambered in the standard 7.62x39mm cartridge, it features the factory 16.5-inch chrome-lined sporter barrel, hooded front sight, sliding rear tangent sight, and original factory AK-47 magazine well architecture. Housed in its original blonde-stained Monte Carlo hardwood sporter stock w/ factory rubber recoil pad, the rifle showcases a high-retention blued steel finish across the receiver, gas tube, and barrel w/ light handling marks appropriate for its age. The bolt carrier retains crisp matching sub-serial digits "56067", while receiver markings remain deep and legible. Mechanically, the action hand-cycles smoothly, the paddle magazine release functions crisp, and the 16.5-inch chrome-lined bore remains bright w/ sharp, defined rifling throughout. Offered complete w/ an attached green canvas sling, this rare factory-modified Norinco SKS-M represents a prime investment piece for Chinese arms collectors.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
