Chinese SKS Dating Thread

[Loose-Cannon]

For anyone wishing to date their Chicom SKS regardless of the arsenal, post the serial number here and I will help you year/date it. You can 'X' out the last digit if you prefer.

Note: Some guns that have been scrubbed of its original serial number will not be exactly dated, but rather narrowed down using additional component configuration information and preferably detailed pics of the whole rifle.

Just offering my help.

And geez... Some of you cats need to get the head outta the gutter. This is a firearms forum, not a mail order groom site! Lol

My SKS is a little rough around the edges. I don't think its possible to find a date for it.

Factory 016. Serial number 1627074. Apparently it does not follow the pattern because it has a 7 digit serial
According to the website I was looking at.

According to the website I was looking at.

016 doesn't exist. It is 416.

Just like 625 doesn't exist either. Is actually 256.

All the dating info Loose Cannon is citing is available on did files dot com in the sks wiki style pages there.
