Stamped SKS-56

[Dsiwy]

Just got my new Stamped Chinese SKS-56

Its a all matching Factory [0138] "crome bore but chamber is not"

I though some of you would be curious to see how its made so here you go

Hope this solves some of the mystery

a rare piece indeed D.... so is it heavier than reg SKS?

Chinese ####...
interesting.


I have a Chinese SKS and it shoots good. Don't have the original stock, but I don't think you can bubba a chinese gun.

Seems to be the same weight and the reciever is very soild and well built.
It is only the side walls that are sheet metal with soild milled parts. It looks a pain in the a$$ to build lol I dont think they saved any money by doing this.

Anyways am going to drill it for a scope and mod the stock
"just kidding"

Actually the stamping process might have been easier then you would think.

Depending of course on what machines that had available, as I doubt it would have been CNC machines.

Stampings are done on presses, no need of CNC there; probably it's a progressive stamping done on 2 ton machines.

You mean that no matter what you do to it, it is not bubba-ing?

 

[Dsiwy]

There will be no Bubba-ing of this Chinese!!!

i guess the milling process is better than the stamping one, no?

what i think is stamping process 'forces' a piece of metal into a certain shape, and this introduces stress to the metal.

on the contrary, the milling process remove extra material in order to sculpt a piece of metal into a certain shape, and therefore, no stress.

who do know csi can tottaly remove ethat peice of paper on the reciever with thier super awesome computers right? gawds


all the same, nice looking rifle, i like the pig sticker

While I'm no expert and there are certainly more people in the know on this board then I on this subject...what I learned operating a press last year was it depends on the metal used, and the engineering behind the process.

Also milling can introduce stress into metal in the form of vibration and heat.

Mind you this is rifle building not bridge building.

BTW AKs are stamped as well.

It's not that stamping is a shody process. It's just that milling a forged blank is so much better.

Oops I'm slipping...

Nice to see it has it still has it's cleaning kit.
