I believe you must have gotten your info from YOOPER JOHNS web site. TULA stopped sks production in 1956....... the crilliac A and REVERSED N are 1955/56. K after ser# is accepted as being East German. other Russian firearms produced AFTER 1956 had the crilliac N and A stamped on them,hence the confussion about a 1957/8 SKS . hope this helps. the sks you posted is a 1956 model.Originally Posted by fenceline
Remember the SALMON ARM SALUTEat least P.E.T. was not a cry-baby like his kid.
Yes, the classic argument is that Russia stopped production of the SKS45 in 56.
The new debate is that they continued to assemble SKS45 from existing parts in 56, 57, and 58.
The East German "K" reference you mention is a new one to me.
CQB, 3 Gun, ISSAC and Service Rifle Shooter.

And the only East German rifles I've seen are the ones made there, and the DDR stamped Russian types, with the serial number stamped on the handguard, and the serial number on the stock being rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Yes very suspicious. I saw it when it was posted for sale and knew it was a Chinese bayo. When the fellow who bought it talked about it on the SKS Boards site I indicated it looked like a Chinese bayo. How a Chinese bayo got on a 49 is suspicious indeed. It should have never been sold as a 49 without declaring the fact that it had a three sided spike bayo not the cruciform (4 sided) Russian spike bayo. Or at least at a reduced price point.
No such thing as too much ammunition or toilet paper...
Issue resolved.

So....someone was missing an authentic Russian spike bayo for their primo 1949 Tula, removed it and it was fitted with a Chinese one to disguise it. Or the Chinese one was attached later when it was noticed missing.

Either way, I paid over $500 with tax for my 49. How much was the one in question?
$425?
$450 was the 49 with the Chinese spike. Plus tax.

So, it was marked down, there were several pictures of the rifle on the site. I understand it was the last 49 he had, and likely the last one we will see again. He couldn't swap it for another one.
Didn't he offer you a refund if you sent it back?
..and what does this have to do with my latest great experience buying a rifle from them?
Issue has been resolved amicably.
