Hi all

My local gunshop recently picked up some Chinese SKS rifles

Something jumped out to me when I had a look at them. They have:

- blade bayonets
- laminate stocks with sling swivels on the bottom not the side and Russian refurb markings (Square with line across two corners)
- Parkerized bolts (as per standard chinese)
- Chinese marked receivers
- The receivers and metal outside of the bayonet and bolt are somewhat blued but not in the same way as a typical russian SKS

Are these unusual? I have looked online but all I have found are some laminate chinese stocks using very thin slices of wood. These are not the same as those.

Russian refurb markings suggest someone restocked the Chinese rifles with surplus Russian stocks. To the best of my knowledge the Chinese did not mark their refurbs. I have a heavily refurbished '67 Jianshe SKS that has had most parts replaced including bolt, bolt carrier, stock, magazine, trigger group etc and there are no unusual markings, definitely nothing denoting refurbishment.
 
Chinese guns with blued bolts/carriers wearing soviet laminate stocks are often an indication of middle eastern provenance. Stocks are commonly without serial numbers, with the blade channel recut to accommodate a spike bayonet Also there will commonly be single digit stamps on the carrier or receiver or both.

Are there any remnants of dark red stain or Arabic numbers in white paint on the buttstick?


There's a really great write-up about the middle east contract type 56s over at sks-files.com.

Post pics if you can.
 
I went to the local gun shop and saw a Chinese sks in the display case with what looked like a Russian stock with a cartouche stamp on the trigger grip. Blade bayonet. Also the barrel was chrome but not past the bayonet hinge to the muzzle. The gas tube was blued. Seemed like a weird combo, maybe I should look into the middle eastern ones in the sks files.

wouldn't doubt it , some of those "refurb" chinese gun from a few years ago were beat and stocks cracked broken rotten .
All the stocks that were left over from the russians that got put into tapco's and sold as packages could have certainly been used
