help me ID my chinese SKS plz

They're threaded barrels, all milled, early configuration. Marstar had a fair amount of them, so did weimajack. Running theory is foreign export model, just like an M48BO. Potentially aid for Vietnam.

It's a Type-56 with the first patten change away from the standard Simonov; Short barrel lug, no lightening cuts, milled trigger group, spike bayonet, and one piece gas tube. Safe to say it's a Factory 26 "clandestine".

I have one just like it, and it's by far my favourite SKS. It's nicely balanced (for an SKS) and the tolerances are tight.

I'm looking for an other one. Anyone want to make a buck? :)

I did some study on mine and it doesn't appear to be scrubbed. Built under contract is my belief. Most exported Type 56s came from Factory 26 Jianshe Arsenal.

Yes, this is what I meant. I didn't mean it was scrubbed, just like the M48BO it was manufactured for foreign export. Potentially aid for Vietnam. I have edited my earlier post. They are very well made Chinese SKS rifles. Mine both have softer wood though, unfortunately.

Would'nt scrubbed have an obvious dividing line between the top half and bottom of the receiver? Although the absence of any other markings is certainly interesting. Forgive me, I'm more knowledgable on Russian models (phrasing...) but from the high res pics, this looks like a high quality commercial parts gun made in '61.

The reason I suspect parts gun is because of the "n". My two cents...

Yeah, I didn't mean scrubbed, it was a mistake on my part. All the research I did and people I talked to the conclusion was for foreign export with some believing aid for Vietnam.

Mine has the Russian 'П' rear sight as well. These rifles are a mystery. Left over sights before the change over? The end customer requested that marking? Who knows.

The headspace is very tight with these rifles. Most Russians have some fore and aft movement. These one do not move.
