Hi, I bought a few months ago a SKS from marstar a Chinese military (75$ deal) and there is absolutely no marking,sign or date on it. The serial begin with 01 05### and the rear site have the ''n'' marking. Is it normal for a Military model?
 
Side

the serial number is on the carrier, bolt, top cover, mag, trigger guard and stock (not buttstock, oops ... Edited). (Without the 01. so only 05###)

Ah. I've seen a few "military" ones floating around with no factory mark or characters but the mounts were all on the bottom with no serial on the stock. Which, to me, meant commercial Norinco. There are a few guys on here who will know but I'm thinking it's a later model military - like into the 70's.

In your case, sounds like you got a real risky one. You had better send it to me for destruction. I'll pay for shipping to help you out.
 
I have some of those. It came in with the milsurp import Marstar did and came new in the grease. It's very high quality, all milled, wood stock was finished in shellac. Much better than the commercial rifles. Mine does have a serial number on the stock.

I can't remember where I read it but I believe these were manufactured as aid for the Vietcong and that's why they have no markings, as to not trace them back. Made for foreign export.

Haha! a brand new one not even fired once by me ... It won't leave my hands for sure!

I was asking because it was advertise as military and I was wondering if it really was a military version ...

Is it possible that it could be a early model (like 1956?) I have all the early feature on mine as shown on the sticky for ID the chinese SKS

Yes, as a followup, the ones that I have seen (and own) that are scrubbed models tend to be all entirely or mostly early features, lending credibility to the foreign aid theory.
 
the should be a triangle with a number in it.... what is the number? It is the factory code

Is the barrel pinned or screwed? No arsenal markings huh? Parts gun, commercial spec most likely. I'd take Beaver's offer with a Russian. If it was a bring back or something rare Marstar wouldn't have sold it that cheap.

If it was military it would have the arsenal stamp... Somewhere...
 
Need pictures of the underside of whole trigger guard and barrel lug located under the rear sight.
Usually no triangle means non military, but there are exceptions.
