The Norinco SKS is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, featuring a classic black finish and a smooth hardwood stock. Manufactured in China by Norinco, this variant adheres to the standard SKS configuration while standing out for its build quality and reliability, making it one of the most respected models among collectors and shooters. The rifle is equipped with a 20-inch barrel, which includes a permanently attached folding bayonet—a hallmark of the SKS design.

Originally designed by Sergei Simonov in 1945, the SKS was intended as a transitional firearm between bolt-action rifles and the emerging era of selective-fire carbines. While it was quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47, the SKS found a second life through international production and export. Among the many variants, the Chinese Norinco Type 56 SKS is especially well-regarded, often considered the finest example of SKS craftsmanship. It benefits from a slightly longer barrel than the AK-series rifles, giving it a marginally higher muzzle velocity and improved ballistic performance. Despite being less compact than modern carbines, the Norinco SKS remains popular in civilian markets for its historical significance, rugged reliability, and ease of maintenance. Its continued use in civilian shooting sports, hunting, and collecting reflects its enduring appeal in countries like the United States, Canada, and New Zealand.
