We have not found any that are broken or unsafe to use as these have all been sorted out by the importer.

Further concerning the stocks, most stocks are solid but some may have small cracks and / or in some cases even a little trench art. Rifles are complete and functional but expect varying degrees of bluing wear ( some heavy, some less ), and stocks with dents, dings, scratches, digs, gouges, and discoloration from service use, handling and storage. This small group of rifles was stored in a neutral country for over 20 years before being granted an exception for import and are available now at RTI. These historic and highly popular Chi-Com rifles were banned from importation by the Clinton Administration in the early 1990's. These rifles are in good to very good used condition and 100% functional! These are military turn ins so expect some battle scars. Includes 10 round box mag and spike type folding bayonet. Most customers bought SKS to own but not to shoot all that much, this soon changed when the cheap AK 47 semi auto rifles flowed in and then lust of ammo went thru the roof.Original CHINESE Vietnam Era Military Surplus Type 56 Chinese SKS Rifles Manufactured at the famous Jianshe Arsenal #26 7.62x39, semi-auto. Folks back then were not doing "mag dumps " as is so popular these days, they bought SKS cause they're a cheap 30 caliber rifle but seemed not to buy lots of ammo. Ammo moved even with such small sales of 20 to 40 rds per customer. NO one was buying spam cans but they'd buy a few stripper clips so he sold ammo that way. He did same for 762x39 Chinese ammo on stripper clips, in spam cans. He was doubling his money as he bought in volume. Not that it matters but, for grins.the old man sold these for 68 dollars each and they moved out like hot cakes. All crates were dripping in Cosmolene.far worse than the crates of 91/30 rifles that flooded in during 2000 to 2008. It also has the most inept importer markings. The only reason I pulled this one example out of the many crates we had for sale at the shop was because it was the only blade model ever seen in the many crates we got in. Markings seem to be blued over, I suspect this was done in China before arriving here in USA.

Honestly, looks like a child did it with punches and sledge hammer but since the In markings or, and I have an example, a blade bayonet model Chicom SKS where the importer stamp was done with single letter and number punches and took up entire left side of receiver wall. The volume coming in such that SKS got missed Hit or miss any importer marked consistently. Or might not get a importers mark on them and if one did a study on importers markings, it was (cheap) into our gun market, anything they had on hand got sent.

When the Tsunami of SKS flooded into here and the Chinese were tossing tons of them In the least as my fathers gun shop got crates of SKS, and standard markings was hardly the norm. THis is a very nice example and unique SKS (my opinion). Is it early, odd, or what? I have more photo’s available if there’s another portion you want to view or ask if there’s another part you are interested in.
Norinco sks year manufactured serial number#
I’ve not seen another with just the two digit serial number and no other symbols. So the importer stamped it “Norinco” but it doesn’t appear to be factory stamped and there’s absolutely nothing else stamped on this rifle other than what I’ve mentioned. The importer stamped it very lightly on two lines: The importer stamp is so light it's hard to even see the top line in the photo so you will have to either blow it up larger or I can try to maybe put some chalk in it and take another photo so you can see it. The stock appears more of a brown color (even though my photo’s appear more of that orange color of most Chinese stocks) and is somewhat rough shaping, the wood doesn’t have a smooth finish. The barrel is pinned and also the barrel is finished pretty smoothly, unlike some SKS that have a lot of circular machine marks around the barrel. The trigger guard has “T5” stamped on the right side and the underside of the receiver has “13” stamped on it. The 00046 is also on the trigger guard, stock, magazine, rear housing, and bolt carrier. It has no manufacturer’s markings, no Chinese figures or symbols, no Triangle with number, nothing but the serial number 00046 and the stamp from the Importer. I’ve had this SKS for quite a few years and it’s not like any of the others I’ve had or have.
