Description:
Here is an very attractive eminently serviceable specimen of the Chinese type 56 infantry rifle chambered in 7.62x39 caliber, that we call the SKS. Manufacturer was Jianshe Arsenal in the People’s Republic of China, on Russian milling equipment and under Russian supervision. From its number 1 prefix onto a 700000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 1957, when the French withdrew from South Vietnam and President Diem asked for U.S. Military Advisers to fill the vacuum. Importer is Keng’s Firearms in Atlanta, so marked on the under side of the barrel. Type, of course, is gas operated semi-automatic rifle. Construction is milled blue steel barrel, receiver and parts; and Asian Hardwood stock. Barrel is standard 20 inch, calibrated military rear sight and elevation adjustable front sight, with drift capability for windage – on the well hooded front sight. Bayonet is Chinese issue spike type. Surface detractions are minimal on this specimen, principally faint scouring at places on the buttstock. Trigger group, magazine, bolt, and receiver serial numbers are all matching. Only the action cover mismatches; it was manufactured in 1959. Stock cartouches match as well, so this rifle is entirely original Chinese military. Bluing is strong throughout with only minimal edge whitening. We rate this type 56 as Excellent, 90 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore and chamber are bright, clean, and excellent; and this rifle is excellent mechanically. 1957 production rifles are among the scarcest in C&R eligible SKSs. This is a well made, well preserved, historic and collectable specimen whose production mates popped caps at our soldiers in Vietnam. We’re offering it for only $ 439.00. Definitely C&R Eligible and transferable to eligible civilians in California.
