Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Designed by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in the closing stages of World War II, the SKS carbine architecture was adopted by Soviet forces in 1945 before technical specifications were transferred to the People's Republic of China, where China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) produced millions under the Type 56 designation. Engineered around a robust short-stroke gas piston operating system and a heavy tilting bolt lockup mechanism, the SKS delivers exceptional semi-automatic dependability in the classic 7.62x39mm cartridge. Featuring a durable chrome-lined barrel for erosion resistance, a stripper-clip fed internal box magazine, and an under-folding spike bayonet assembly, Norinco SKS rifles imported prior to federal embargoes earned a formidable global reputation among military surplus purists for their military durability, dense hardwood furniture, and historical cold-war manufacturing heritage. This specific example is an authentic Chinese Norinco SKS rifle bearing receiver serial number 91 42948. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, it features a 20-inch chrome-lined steel barrel, a hooded front sight post, an adjustable 1,000-meter tangent rear sight, and an original under-folding cruciform spike bayonet assembly. The deep military blued finish is paired w/ a smooth blonde Asian hardwood stock stamped w/ matching serial number 42948 on the butt, terminated w/ a black rubber recoil pad. Imported by CSI of Ontario, California, this rifle exhibits clean receiver roll marks and smooth mechanical action w/ a bright, reflective chrome-lined bore. Presenting in strong overall military condition, this Norinco SKS is an outstanding acquisition for Military Surplus collectors and shooter enthusiasts alike.
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.
