Collection Liquidation: Norinco SKS

Sixsa · Nov 17, 2020

LIQUIDATING THE SAFE!

Here is a Norinco SKS obviously chambered in 7.62x39. It has been fired *maybe* 50-60 times in total. I have kept very good care of it. My SKS itch has worn off and I'm sure in 5 years when SKS reach 1,000 dollars or something grotesque, I will regret not holding onto it.

A couple interesting things about this particular rifle in comparison to most others is that the bolt carrier group is not silver/chromed like so many others. I don't know what is special about mine or different, but then again I'm not a buff on SKS factory variants or history beyond the general knowledge.

Your comments adding to the history are always welcome.

Asking 600 dollars if shipped. 550 local.

That is a factory 206 ( 206 Factory: Jiangxi Evergreen Machinery Co., Ltd., Yichun, local military). It's a nice re-arsenal and that's when the bolt was darkened. Most likely came to US without its triangle bayonet.
Does the bolt match?

It's an arsenal 306, a local arsenal in Szechuan Province that made a lot of commercial type 56 sks for exports. Some signature features of arsenal 306 sks: Rear sight base/leaf were casted, not milled; trigger is crisp, compared to triangle 26 sks; wood is softest among others.
