False advertsing?

[jonythebeast]

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.

Nice edit.

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.

If you wanted a "real" SKS, then you should have ordered a Russian one.

This right here.

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).

Just did this today at a local gun store. I actually managed to find 3 Tula armory sks's in VERY good condition. xD

just because it does not have the symbols, does not mean it is not a Type 56, check out http://yooperj.com/SKS-35.htm not all rifles have the markings. not false advertising but nitpicky individuals who purchased late 20th century rifles looking for mid 20th century rifles.

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.

You need to brush up on your Chinese SKS facts.

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?
