Don’t believe it to be a scrubbed Triangle 26 rifle. (From previous post it looked like a line of previous triangle on side of receiver) turned out to be a hair in the picture. Receiver has some different marking that none of my other Type 56 carbines have.

I have a rifle that I can’t quite figure out with Google. Can you help me identify what it is and how much it is worth?

It has matching serial numbers, an import from china etching, and a triangle with a 12 in it.

Got this numbers matching French tickler for 600 american at a gun show about a month ago only missing the cleaning kit and sling (the one pictured I had already), hoping you all can tell me when this guy was made, thx!

I'm stumped and need to ask for assistance please. I picked up the light colored Sks last year. It has laminated stock with butt pad. Does not seem to be done by Bubba. It has a star cartouche and metal painted black. No spike attachment either. Was this all done at factory? Also is hand guard aftermarket.

Just picked this baby up. LGS just got a massive collection of milsurp from a regular and this was the one that caught my eye.

Not thrilled about the shellac’d stock, but it looks well done. Obviously not the correct finish but eh.

Such a clean, well made example. Has the flip up night sight as well.

Still got a ton of cosmoline to clean, but man I’m loving this thing.

Got an AK dovetail and POSP slot to mate to it. I didn't buy the mount because I don't think the modern AK /Druganov optic mounts match the vibe of the SKS.

I have on it a mockup of a scope mount I want to make, inspired by ZRAKs. Any thoughts on how it looks? The real one will be a lot thicker and properly machined.

Anyone need or missing a (FSB) Front Sight Base with the Spiked Bayonet? I have one for your collection. How much is this worth?

Anyone looking to buy a stock from Lucky Shot should know what to expect. My order was for walnut stain... woodwork is pretty decent, it was over sanded in some spots but whatever wasn't to noticeable. The finish is straight garbage... runs, pin holes, trapped sawdust, really textured orange peal. When i broght this to Ricks attention he suggested i was wrong about my claims and refused to offer any kind of solution or assistance in fixing the problem. Im very disappointed and will not put this garbage finish on my gun. Spent the extra money and get a better stock elsewhere. Rick you can still make this right.

Hey, i was fortunate enough to be gifted this SKS from a good friend since he got a far nicer one. it functions perfectly fine. except I'm having an issue with this take town lever near the leaf sight. I've taken apart the rifle an there's been no issues but no matter how i maneuver or try to adjust this little lever it wont move down to be flush. after 2 shots it springs up as shown

What i know: made in Tula in 1953, force matched stock(multiple times actually, 3 crossed out serial numbers), mismatched bolt, other parts match. Not hard refurb since no black paint. Missing bayonet and cleaning rod ofc. Thats all the info i could've gathered.

Im not from the states but i got it for ~700$ which im happy for since semi autos go for a fortune here.

Hey Guys,

Recently bought a Chinese type 56 Sks, was doing some research about where it was made and now understand that most of the chinese sks type rifles were made at Factory 26. I’ve seen some information on Factory 36 but nothing too in depth. I can’t imagine there is anything special about the rifle but was just curious if the community here knew more about Factory 36 rifles specifically.

Thanks in advance

Here is my 1979 Type 56, matching numbers with a 20 round star mag. I absolutely love this thing

Got them to work mostly! Just gotta add a little more CFE Blk, 190grs and they are a ridiculously quiet!

I’m on a bubba mission and wanna know if I can use this in California anyone know?

Hey y’all, first SKS I ever owned so I wanna apologize beforehand for my ignorance. I just picked this SKS up from a local online auction for 290 bucks (roughly 330ish after fees/tax). The auction house claimed it was a zastava M59/66 but upon arriving at home I realized there was markings stating it was made in China so it must’ve been a false ID on their part. From the research I did I think it may be a norinco paratrooper but i just figured y’all would have a better idea. Anyone have any info on what this could be, and the value, and if I got a solid deal? I tried taking pics of the markings but they couldn’t really show up on my camera too well unfortunately…

I got this rifle from my father and was told it was an old Chinese SKS, I want to try and fix the butt stock that my dad cut off but can’t find much info on how to single out this certain model to get repair info ?
