Chinese Type 56 SKS

[ljones]

I have a milled Chinese from Frontier, but it's a mutt, no original stock, mag or bayo.
I'd like a full matching example with the Chinese characters on the receiver.

I think they meant milled trigger group as opposed to the stamped trigger group. As has been mentioned, other than the few stamped and even fewer cast receiver experimental models which are rare, all the receivers are milled. They claim 60's manufacture which would be milled trigger groups. They switched to stamped trigger groups for the later production, circa 70's and later.

Yes, I simply made the statement for the benefit of the SKS newbies reading your comment, not as correcting you, sorry if it came off that way

Wow. I get it now after you mention it. Damn internet makes it hard to tell.

Frontier Firearms has already shipped my SKS so hopefully I'll get it next week. This is the very first time I've ever ordered a gun from the internet.

Yep same here. Just had to have a Chinese one. I still want a million of them overall though.

Yes thanks, mine has a stamped trigger, milled receiver and short lug barrel. I put it as 70's production.
