I knew that and let it slide cause tex let me slide now dont you feel lucky? My preban is marked built by norinco

My SKS is marked Made in Russia but I think that was marked by the importer. Can't imagine the Tula arsenal writing something in English on their rifles.

Marion, is your barrel pinned or screwed in? Does it have a Russian bolt or Chinese and do the bolt numbers match the rest? My reason for asking is my sks has no Chinese markings with the exception of the triangle 26. Parts are all milled like the AK. My bolt number doesnt match and is definately Cinese with no. less than 10,000. These are a real mystery, or so it seems to me.

It is screwed in and there are two types of barrels used on them shot and long refering to the neck where it screws in .
two sight that might help you indent

The true Sino-Soviet was strictly a Factory 26 weapon. It also had the blade bayonet, as per Russian practice. It should have the inverted squared-U mark on the rear sight for the battle setting. Mine is a '59 model, not a true Sino-Soviet, but it meets all criteria except serial number range and date. I suspect it was made up of remaining S-S parts, before they began altering production to make it cheaper. Still, any SKS that early is nice! In that condition is gravy on the goose! Good find!

I know...this is a VERY OLD thread. I'm researching the SKS factory /36\...I just put one on layaway yesterday.
Big Dog seems to be correct.
Also, like mine, it appears to have a stamped trigger guard that would mean late model.
Still, /36\ is not as common as the /26\...I have 3 /26\'s (one a Para).
If anyone has info/links on the /36\, please post.
