    Another Beautiful SKS from Westrifle!

    Just got this from Al,









    Exactly what I requested. Red Lam with a gold bayonet, and Lam hand guard.
    I have been waiting for about a year for one like this to show up. If you are on the fence about getting one of these, I wouldn't wait too much longer.
    This one is a perfect '56 Izzy, unrefurbished.
    A nice addition to my red collection.
    Thanks Al!

    Al told me Izzy. I'm not sure how you tell on a 56.

    Ohh, and 12AX7!

    Izhevsk only made the SKS for two years. 53 & 54.

    It is a Tula. Like already said above Izhevsk only made SKS's part of 53 and most of 54. There is no such thing as a 56 Izzy...
    No such thing as too much ammunition or toilet paper...

    Also unrefurb Izzy's would have a hardwood stock not laminate. The laminates didn't come into existence for the SKS till after the Ishevsk stopped production of the SKS.

    If your rifle is a 56, it should have a blank receiver cover, and a star like this on the side of the receiver.

    Letter series. Reverse N is 1957. K is 1958 and A is 56. At least that is the latest rumours. The letter series dating matches the dating for Makarov pistols.
