Is it from Marstar? I got one just like it and it didn't have any markings other than the serial number. Same as yours.

Chinese SKS usually have serial #,factory #(the trianglelike stamp) and chinese caracters on left side of receiver on military model.

Like svt1940 says, usually. Several of the recent Marstar imports have been lacking everything but the serial number. No triangle, no Chinese characters for "carbine". Possibly an indication of late 70's manufacture but I'm not 100% sure on that. May be a specific arsenal as well that just didn't stamp them.

Quebec's registry doesn't even exist yet and it already has failed.

That's what my two have as well, both were bought from CanadaAmmo.

No arsenal marks, no Chinese characters, just the serial number. Mine are basically undateable, as not only are they lacking a Factory 26 marking, they have a smattering of parts on them that range from "early" to "late" manufacture. For example, they both have the Cyrillic "U" for the battle sight setting on the rear sight which indicates an "early" manufacture rifle, but many of the other parts indicate a "mid" or "late" production rifle.

Another Chinese SKS mystery. They both shoot great, guess that's what matters. :3
