I was under the impression that the Chinese military SKS (type 56) had a marking followed by 3 chinese symbols denoting "type 56". However the Chinese miltary sks's advertised on your site do not have any of these markings at all. Which leads me to believe that these are export SKS's that have been falsely labelled as a military SKS.

Chinese military Type 56 example pulled of google images (note the triangle and 3 symbols before the serial number):


The export version has no such markings and is just a serial number.
If this is the case, and I am correct, needless to say I am not impressed.

Here comes a 50000 page thread.
 
Correct, and if it doesn't have those its not a type 56. Which leads to the $230 dollar question as to why they are advertised as such when they clearly are not.
 
Got mine from Marstar a while back and it is like the one in the picture. Same markings.
I was told by a Chinese person that the 3 Chinese symbols are the Chinese numbers for what is in the triangle (= plant number).
 
There is nothing wrong with a chinese SKS. Just buyer beware when making any purchase. Fair share of Russian sks's have had their problems.
 
I bough 2 Chinese sks from another dealer one had the markings and the other one didn't. Other then one having a pinned barrel and the other having a threaded barrel they are identical.... I wonder why?
