Chinese Type 56 SKS SLR

The SKS (Samozaryadnyj Karabin Simonova = Simonov Self-loading Carbine) was designed by famous Russian arms designer Simonov, who already designed the self-loading rifle AVS-36 and an anti-tank rifle PTRS. In 1949 this carbine was officially adopted by the Soviet Army as a "7.62mm Samozaryadnyj Karabin Simonova obr. 1945 goda - SKS". The SKS was brought into service along with the Kalashnikov AK-47, and was widely used during the first two or three post-war decades. This example is a Chinese Type 56 military variant very probably from the 1960's; Type 56's were used extensively during the Vietnam conflict. It is in very good used condition; one of the better ones we have seen. It is also fully matching numbered - receiver, bolt, dust cover, trigger group and stock. Additionally, it is fitted with an unusual scope rail on the lefthand side of the receiver. Complete with military sling and three inert 7.62 rounds. Current deactivation with moving bolt section under spring pressure, moving trigger under spring pressur, moving safety and the ability to release the magazine assembly, but without the ability to dry fire or field strip.
