Hi, I have two questions about the SKS rifles.
I am in possession of a Chinese SKS that I think may be a civilian/export model.
It has "Made in China" an American city written on it in english on the left-rear portion of the receiver.
I bought this thing for a project just to mess around with, but I didn't want to butcher it if it had some historical value (even if it is an SKS).
The front sight and bayonet lug pins have been drilled out by a previous owner, and the wooden stock had been painted with latex house paint (cleaned off now) and was lengthened about 3 inches (very well done I might add).
I'm assuming its fairly borked anyway, but I didn't want to do something I'd regret later, hence why I didn't choose a brand-new Russian or Chinese model.
Note: If anybody has an SKS that is butchered, but is shootable, let me know.

My other question is, are the parts interchangeable between Chinese and Russian models?
I have what I suspect is a Russian SKS receiver (that had a brass deflector installed permanently into the side), and I would like to use it, again for some fun.
Thanks.
 
Sounds like you do have one of the early exported rifles made specifically for civilian use....and with all those mods, you've already lost pretty much all historical value if there were any. Also..pictures would help =D

Most parts will interchange between russian and cjhinese but just keep in mind that:
-russian and early chinese have threaded barrel but later chinese have pinned barrel,your must be pinned as well.
-gas tube may differ in lenght
-bolt interchange except the early russian 1949-part 1951
Hope that help.

The parts that I would be using off the Chinese one would just be the
The gas system and barrel don't matter for my purposes (yet).
Thanks.
