The SKS rifle produced by Tula Arsenal is a historically significant firearm that reflects the transition period in Soviet small arms design following World War II. Chambered in the 7.62x39mm cartridge, this semi-automatic rifle features a 20.5-inch barrel and is outfitted with a permanently attached, folding bayonet—a hallmark of its design that made it suitable for both infantry combat and ceremonial purposes.

Developed by Sergei Simonov in 1945, the SKS was among the first Soviet firearms to use the 7.62x39mm round, predating the ubiquitous AK-47. Although quickly rendered obsolete for front-line service due to its limited 10-round fixed magazine and lack of select-fire capability, the SKS remained in production at the Tula Arsenal until 1958. It saw widespread distribution within the USSR and to numerous allied nations, where it served in border patrol, reserve forces, and training roles well into the Cold War. Soviet-manufactured SKS rifles—especially those from Tula—are highly valued today for their craftsmanship and historical authenticity. With a sturdy semi-automatic action and iconic design features, the Tula SKS remains both a functional shooter and a collectible relic from the early Cold War era.
