Norinco and Polytech
Norinco (China north Industries)
Polytech are both Chinese military industrial supply units of Military and are responsible for buying and selling Military hardware and equiptment. They in themselves do not make anything
All sks carbines are Military parts no such thing as a commercial sks in China
Gun importers asked the Chinese to remanufacture guns for them to market including Farmers friend, paratrooper, sniper, honor guard, all of the various ones adapted to ak magazine type m and such are all inventions of the importer this is also true of the thousands of guns made from the huge stocks of repair parts that had no market value so were assembled and sent here for sale some marked with no factory code, some with really odd serial numbers, some were total miss match, some were scrubbed all but receiver. but all guns were Military parts

Some questions on these new rifles:
1) Are the bbl's pinned or threaded?
2) Trigger guards stamped or milled?
3) Gas tubes stamped or milled?
4) Serial numbers stamped into sides of stock?
5) Stock finished in cheap varnish, or original military oiled wood?

I just received my Chinese SKS (with the case of ammo) about three hours ago from Tradex. The cert. from CFC says it was manufactured my Norinco. It is from /306\ (whatever that means - I'm still getting up to speed on the whole SKS history and variation thing). It came packed in grease (cosmoline?) and wrapped in plastic. Tradex informed me that these have threaded barrels. I'll post more about it when I get a chance to strip it and clean it up - it is VERY greasy. My first impression leaves me very pleased. Hopefully I can say the same after those 1200 rounds have passed through the thing.

thanks my friend I try here is something to ponder
the Chinese after ww2 decided to spread the factory complex to all of china's provinces. This was because they got caught during WW2 with all of the manufacturing near ocean where it was easy to get and move items of supply around. The Chinese have a factory system where everyone can be tasked with doing Military contracts. Places that do stamping do stamped parts those that mill things do milled parts they do not care as both do the job. These parts are then sent where directed to be assembled. So do not concern yourself with pinned or screwed bbls milled or stamped trigger groups etc it means nothing. Its not a late or early thing its not a year date thing not a part number thing its just supply and demand. Also The Russians set up Factory # 296 with its machinery and one hell of a load of parts to get them started The earliest of the 56 guns were mostly Russian parts. Factory triangle 26 was the only one given these parts. The other factories mad them once the Chinese got their machinery built and running. Factory triangle 26 made the complete gun . Most other guns were assembled with supplied parts from all over the supply chain. One peculair gun was the oval 974 which usually if not always had a stamped top cover. Some stamped guns from 0138 also were found now and then with a stamped top cover. The quality of the Chinese guns are not at all effected by whether the parts were milled or stamped , pinned bbl or screwed in bbl. The Chinese also did more to the sks than any other country they did much to improve that gun even though it did not need improvement I faced quite a few Chinese weapons in the hands of locals and Vietnamese military as well as a few Chinese advisers while in Vietnam in 65 66 We captured allot of rough guns at that time because they hid them out doors in the tough climate and used them when they could against us. They always worked. Many of the early guns that came home like the Russians, East Germans, North Vietnamese, and North Korean were often well used and some miss matched because the guys carrying them knew nothing of numbered parts and while gathered on a mat cleaning guns would get stuff mixed up . they still were dependable. I collect them by variation factory code and country Its very facinating whats been done since those guns started in 49. By China, Yugoslavia, Albania and the other countries that made them.
