Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1956, Russia ended production of the SKS rifle at the Tula Arsenal. The Russians shipped the tooling to China, along with technical advisors, who helped set up the manufacturing and train Chinese workers at Jianshe Arsenal (also known as the Factory 26). Factory 26 rifles have a reputation for being the best manufactured with the highest quality control of all Chinese SKS rifles. Most SKS Chinese rifles used in the Vietnam War came from Factory 26. The SKS was widely exported and also produced by some former Eastern Bloc nations, as well as China, where it was designated the “Type 56”. In East Germany, it was known as the Karabiner S, and in North Korea as the "Type 63". The SKS is currently popular in the civilian surplus market in many countries, including the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Among the better-known commercial variants is the Norinco SKS “Paratrooper,” a version with a 16 1/2-inch barrel made specifically for U.S. importers rather than for Chinese military issue. The SKS was one of the first weapons chambered for the 7.62x39mm M43 round, which was also used later in the AK-47.

The SKS is a gas-operated rifle that features a spring-loaded bolt carrier and a gas piston rod that works the action via gas pressure pushing against it. Additionally, it has a "tilting bolt" action locking system. The SKS is shorter and less powerful than the semi-automatic rifles that preceded it, such as the Soviet SVT-40. However, the SKS has a 4-inch longer barrel than AK-series rifles, which replaced it; as a result, it has a slightly higher muzzle velocity
