Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The SKS is a semi-automatic rifle that was designed by Soviet small arms designer Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1945. It was first produced in the Soviet Union but was later widely exported and manufactured by various nations. The SKS is known for its permanently attached folding bayonet and a hinged, fixed magazine. However, it lacked select-fire capability and its magazine was limited to ten rounds, which rendered it obsolete in the Soviet Armed Forces by the introduction of the AK-47 in the 1950s. Despite this, SKS carbines continued to see service with the Soviet Border Troops, Internal Troops, and second-line and reserve army units for decades. The SKS was manufactured at Tula Arsenal from 1949 to 1958, and at the Izhevsk Arsenal from 1953 to 1954, resulting in a total Soviet production of about 2.7 million.
The Russian letter series is a unique and collectible example of the Russian SKS 45. It refers to the three Russian letters that appear after the serial number on the rifle. Research indicates that these letters correspond to the year of production. Prior to the letter series, there were seven other dated years, from 1949 to 1955, as well as two years of rifles produced in a factory called Izhevsk in 1953-54. After 1955, the Russians used a different method of dating the carbines, and the first year was 1956. The Cyrillic letter "A" corresponds to "D" in English and represents 1956, the Cyrillic letter "N" corresponds to "I" in English and represents 1957, and the Cyrillic letter "K" corresponds to "K" in English which represents 1958.
