I just got 2 sks from Westrifle.com,one is a 1951,and the other I think is a 1955. I requested a 1955 if they could find one ,and reading a little last night on the stickys and othe sites. there is no date on the top cover so that usually means it is a 55/56. the stock is birch not laminated and it seems to me they finnished with the birch stocks in early 55,so it leads me to believe this is an early 55 model,and yes pics to follow!

The sks I got from westrifle is a 1955, date stamped on reciever cover by star. when I picked it out on the site i didn't know which to pick...was just a random pick of one that had stamps/markings on it.
 
Mine is dated on the receiver 1955 with Tula star and got the little star on the left side, all numbers match, bolt is silver, stock is laminated with a Tula star and the same serial # no ### look like unrefurbished, look like it is brand new, got many mores russians but that one puzzle me, only paid 160.00 at a non-sponsor store... JP.
 
My Mistake!

Sorry guys, The rifle is a 1950 very faint date there was no 1, just 950,so I didn't get the 55 but still very nice hardwood stock rifle so far haven't stripped it yet ,working with one hand for another week!
So I have a 1950, 1951 in hardwood and a 1954 in laminate!,,,,so far!

I think you got lucky?... as I did....

I recently purchased a 1950 refurb with out the square refurb stamp, with unchromed barrel... it shoots ok, better than average for an sks I guess?.

Looking through the stickies here, im glad I have one of the original production models. It gives me some satisfaction for some reason?... with very low serial number and a laminate stock.:)
 
So far ,I have the 1950 and 1951 out of the box and wiped off . I have just taken them down to the bolt out to check the bores and look around a bit ,still in a cast till monday so already doing more than docs orders after that they are coming apart and goodby cosmo!!
The 1951 has no spring on the firing pin as expected ,very nice bore ,stock is birch as I requested and has some dings on it.There are no refurb marks on the stock or carrier cover but I do believe it was refurbed, but just a light one I would assume .The tula star and date on the stock are a bit faint so I figure it was sanded a bit or maybe from the factory? The Bayo is a very shiny one I like it but it just barely latches in the closed position ,I can hear the blade hit metal in there somewhere I will find out when I completely disasemble it. She locks nice when open I do not see any refurb marks anywhere on her. I checked the sticky to be sure of what I am looking for.
The 1950 is also hardwood with a few scratches and dings but nice, fantastic bore and spring loaded firing pin definitly refurb,,marks are there but again not on stock shiny bayo too locks up nice.
There was no cleaning kit in the tube of either one. The tube or muzzel protector was there but nothing in them,westrifle I am sue will make that right!
Pics to follow.
Does anyone know how to tell if you have a chrome or non-chrome barrel?
