[frankdodd]

Hey guys,
Pulled out one of my sks today was going to sell- appears to be a israeli marked russian sks.
Any idea where can I find more info about them? Been doing a lot of searching- can't find much.
What are they worth?

Thanks for that... read through it- mine doesn't appear to have any Chinese markings on it. Just Russian and Israeli!
Very curious about it!

Most likely an Israeli capture from one of the wars ('56 or '67 maybe??).

As others have said



Especially of the Israeli markings!

The sks rifles were used as truck guns by the israeli army in the 1980s. They removed the bayonets from them. I saw 100s of them israel. Dont know what happened to the bayonets.

perhaps I'm blind, but where are the distinguishing markings?

 

[frankdodd]

The three little markings, apparently the middle one is the Israeli (IDF) proof marking (appears to be a upside down crooked arrow).
No markings on the receiver other then a small rebuild stamp.
And from what I've read apparently also the two markings at the beginning of the serial number.
As far as I have read... waiting for someone to chime in who knows what they are talking about!! ha ha

 

[frankdodd]

Also has markings (even smaller ones) all over it- a lot of the crooked arrow. Just seeing if someone can help. Love learning more right?

There is no,, nada,, zilch of israeli markings on this sks.
Markings you see are machinist markings that each machinist at the factory had so they could trace who did what in case of bad fabrication.
It was serious business in communist country during cold war. each machinist was responsible for his work.

No Star of David....?

Thanks gewehr76- I appreciate your posting.

Still don't know what it is- no date on the receiver- this is a great site (http://www.yooperj.com/SKS-22.htm) and from what I've read looks like it is a 'K series Letter Gun - 1958' with a laminate stock, one of the last produced.

Again, if someone knows more please give input!

This thread has greatly expanded my knowledge of SKS! Thanks to frankdodd for triggering this. Those who have researched the SKS just need the right question to be asked and they will divulge a lot of information.

Thought the notion was a bit hinky....

 

[wbaad]

I thought it was because the serial prefix was OY
