N-SKS; what is it?

[Proutfoo]

I have heard of M-59, Type56, SKS-D..


what is a N-SKS?

Marstar is starting to sell some. What is the difference between a N-SKS and the Factory106 Chicom I have?

They've also got it in there as "Norinco N-SKS 'Type 56' Semi-Auto 7.62x51mm"

and then 7.62x39 at the bottom.

I'd say N probably stands for NORINCO and the 7.62x51 is a typo.

Looks like a plain-jane norinco SKS.

It's a special Newfoundland edition...you use the spike bayonet to get the pickled eggs, and herring out of the jar at the club house at the range.

Cool! Sounds like I need one

I think it also comes with a small cup for 'screech' apertif (sp?).

It's a fine rifle, but the vinegar gives me heartburn.

I emailed Marstar about that typo over two weeks ago. This is what they said:

"It is 7.62x39 - I'll have the webmaster fix that oops. sorry for the confusion"

Two weeks and counting...

Sometimes I wish people would just get their s#@t straight. I know it's not the biggest deal, but hey, I'm bored and got nothing else to say.

Hoegaarderzo: I'm ordering one as well, next month or so. Let me know how yours is.
