Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The SKS is a semi-automatic rifle designed by Soviet small arms designer Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1945. The SKS was first produced in the Soviet Union but was later widely exported and manufactured by various nations. Its distinguishing characteristics include a permanently attached folding bayonet and a hinged, fixed magazine. As the SKS lacked select-fire capability and its magazine was limited to ten rounds, it was rendered obsolete in the Soviet Armed Forces by the introduction of the AK-47 in the 1950s. Nevertheless, SKS carbines continued to see service with the Soviet Border Troops, Internal Troops, and second-line and reserve army units for decades.
Romanian M56 SKS were all made at the Cugir Factory in Romania; this same factory started metal production in 1799. It was the first metal works in Transylvania. It was set up by the Austro-Hungarians and produced very high quality materials, also it fed the demand for material and was also exported elsewhere. The first true Romanian-designed weapon was the Ori?a 9mm submachine gun, which was designed in 1941. In more modern times, they produced a Mosin M-44, the PSL-54c, many commercial and military-grade Ak variants, like the md.63 to the WASR, as well as handguns, such as the Romanian TT-33 Tokarev.
The Romanians are also noted as refurbing many types of Mausers; the Czech Vz24, in particular, is a very commonly found Romanian contract/rebuild rifle. Manufacturing dates range from 1957 to 1960, so there were four years of total production. It has been previously estimated that Romanian SKS production is around 500,00.
