Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
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.
- Albanian SKS: Produced between 1967 and 1978 with none produced from 1972 to 1975. They were produced by the UM GRAMSH factory located in Gramsh, Albania with a longer stock and handguard on the gas tube, and AK style charging handle. The magazine is slightly different in the shape visible from the outside and the stock has two compartments with two corresponding holes in the buttplate for cleaning implements instead of the single cleaning kit pocket. Like the Chinese Type 56 carbine, the Albanian version also features a spike bayonet fixed beneath the muzzle.
