Soviet ended sks production in 1958-- with a total of 2.5-2.7million produced at 2 arsenals.

Type56 production ended in 1984, but the Chinese were still turning out standard configuration SKS carbines dated as late as 2009 (and possibly later).
--20million+ carbines produced over
--30years of military production and a
--Massive cache of NOS parts from nearly
--200 arsenals and factories.

That's why NIB commercial sks's are still available from China.

Ok, good thing these were not commercial variants. Military type 56. I also have a commercial norinco and they are different. Any other comments from the "expert"? Its never too late to admit you are wrong... but like i said, you dont know what you are talking about.

Show me the detailed photos of your pristine, all original Marstar sks45's and I show you why you are wrong.

Funny how you say you have lots of proof, but you make no effort whatsoever to provide any of it.

What is it that you are so afraid of?

Not afraid of anything. As far as im concerned you are just another forum troll that thinks they know, when they dont.

Short video took 2 seconds to find. Again why would i provide you proof of anything? You are the one claiming to be all knowing. Do some research. Did you buy one? What are your credetials?

Anybody else who actually bought one want to chime in on what you received?

Apparently you didn't watch the video. If you had you would see that the "new" rifle in the video has multiple indications of being well used, and previously issued.

The video was to get you started in the right direction. The firearms were not fired from factory, new old stock. What proof do YOU have that shows they arent? Other than dings from being in the crate and pinned mags they are pristine. What are your credentials and background again? Or is it just troll?

Supposedly Northy has a safe full of all original, unissued, unfired Soviet carbines from Marstar, but he's scared to show any proof of their existence. Let alone all the detailed photos of why he thinks they are original.
 
You're changing the subject, North.

The discussion was NIB Soviet carbines from Marstar.

I won't hold my breath waiting for proof of your Soviet claims, because I guarantee it doesn't exist.



At this point your argument simplifies to this:
My Soviet SKS from Marstar are all original because: China.

Classic bait and switch, fallacy.

And the world is flat, the sun revolves around the earth, the Chinese pay billions of dollars in Tariffs to the US, the Corvid19 virus is a Democratic hoax, and the virus will just disappear.

He will go down as the worse President in US history and the most likely one to be the first to end up in jail for money laundering and tax evasion.

Holy F. The ones marstar was advertising as chinese type 56 and unissued/unfired were exactly that. They were not refurb. They are all matching, unfired from factory test. They came from multiple factory codes and some were even clandestine, meaning no factory marks.

This is hilarious. "No arsenal" marks is Not an ond indication of clandestine production.

No arsenal stamps indicates scrubbing, or post 1984 assembly or both.

The arsenal scrubbed carbines were specifcally intended for the US market.

Before the outright ban on chinese imports, US importers had to get more and more creative in their attempts to circumvent the continuously tightening restrictions on the importation of miltary surplus small arms.

One such tactic was removing the chinese arsenal stamps and Type56 chracter desigations. Another tactic involved stamping SPORTER onto the scrubbed receivers.

The whole line of commercially modified guns, D, M, Paratroopers, Sporters, hunters, etc, were directly related to those attempts to circumvent the restrictions on military surplus imports.

It looks just like yours, North.
See?

Haha lol. You are the only one who said soviet bud. And not all factories that made the type 56 for the military put aresenal codes on their rifles... just because this is the case does not make them commercial production. Are you done now?

ALL mil spec Chinese sks rifles manufactured 1956-1984 had arsenal or factory id stamps. (Excluding the ghost guns)

After 1984, the type56 (五六式) military designation was no longer used. If it has the type56 designation and/or and arsenal stamp it was made before 1985. If it not, the stamps were either scrubbed, or the carbine was assembled after 1984 from the massive stockpile of NOS parts leftover from 3 decades of military production at nearly 200 factories and arsenals throughout China.

You're also completely overlooking the fact that unlike the Soviets, Yugoslavians, Romanians, and Albanians, the Chinese used NO overt markings or stamps to indicate refurbishment. So making the claim of non refurbished or as issued for any type56 is 100% pure speculation. And also funny.
