Chinese military SKS at Tradeex
- Thread starter cornelunc
- Start date
From my limited understanding:
The military ones have more consistency(quality) in their construction.
The commercial ones, well, they aren't all peachy.
Trying to remember all the differences in chinese sks rifles is hard and nothing seems to apply 100% of the time.

/26\ or Chunking Arsenal is where the Russians taught the Chinese to manufacture SKSs. They started with the cross bred Sino-Soviets made mostly out of Russian parts,and the rest is history. It is also the only plant that the serial numbers can be dated from. Some estimates are as high as 60% of Chinese Military production came from there. Also /26\ is the only factory markings encountered in Nam,besides the sanitized versions.

it was out of Frontiers last batch
I suppose that new Chinese on the market are John of Marstar rifles,10000 rifles is too much for him to sell,so he sold a part of them to the dealers,and offer 2 months time to sell them before he will come in the market with his SKS with the lower price,may be 140$ each
I don't think that is true? Why would he do that?

I hoping chinese ones for $89 from marstar
If he gets them from china for that much then he has to ship it.
Doesn,t matter how cheap they will be, i dont care for chinese sks. I have 1 collecting the dust in the safe, and i have my russian collection to complete

I would be tempted to wait for this - I expect you are right - but I don't think he can match Trade Ex's deal on shipping. At least, he hasn't in the past when I called.

Chinese SKS
You boys are selling the Chinese SKS rifles short. They are tough, combat proven weapons. They are almost identical to the Russian rifles, other than some cosmetic differences. Those are mainly stamps.
The Chinese lavish a lot of care on their equipment. The stuff we normally see is either completely worn out or wrecked. They have milsurp arms from all over the world. They weren't slouches about it either. They were taught by masters how to build the weapons for themselves as well.
If you decide not to buy a Chinese SKS because it offends you sensebilities, that's your business. They don't deserve a bad rap for functionality or accuracy. Remember, these aren't the commercial rifles that we are used to finding.
