FEATURES
This is a new shipment received on 5-10-2021 and is one of the best quality batches we have ever received!
These are authentic Vietnam Era Military Surplus Chinese Type 56 SKS rifles, manufactured at the #26 Jianshe Arsenal factory. This lot of rifles was stored in a neutral country for the last 20 years, so they are able to be imported and available to the public now! Unique, battle-worn characteristics define this classic SKS rifle as they have everything from wear marks, scars, and even some have amazing trench art etched into the wooden stock. These rifles were stored with heavy amounts of cosmoline in order to protect them from rust and other environmental factors over the decades. The rifles come complete with spiker-style bayonets, a ten-round box magazine, and adjustable iron sights.
These rifles will vary in condition. The image above represents a range of conditions that are common for these military turn-in SKS rifles. Each rifle is going to be sold as-is and we are not offering hand-picked selections for purchases. All rifles are complete and fully functional but will need to be cleaned thoroughly prior to usage.
In regards to the varying condition of the stocks, we have found some with just minor scratches and dings and others with dents, gouges, and cracks caused by battle use and storage. The metal components were very well preserved by the cosmoline, and the functionality will reflect that.
Safety Notice:
These rifles will all need to be taken apart and cleaned thoroughly before firing. Also please remember that an SKS has a free-floating firing pin, which can cause slam fires if the firing pin is stuck in the outside position. A good rule that everyone should be following is “ALWAYS CHAMBER A FIREARM IN A SAFE DIRECTION”. This is especially important with an SKS as slam firing 10 rounds in an unsafe direction can be catastrophic. We recommend you have your rifle checked by a competent gunsmith before firing.

I never heard of a stamped SKS, so I looked into it.
Apparently they're rare and collectible.
Yes. I picked up a Russian refurbished for $120 in 1995, and my Dad a Chinese for $100 that same year.
Might as well get a carcano, this thing is gonna be a wall hanger since you can build much better 7.62 or buy an imported AK. You CAN use it but it’s definitely not as accurate as something made in the past 20 years. Best for collecting but even then I rather have a mosin. I don’t hate it though. It just should be about 300 otherwise its a terrible deal
The Chinese only made like 15 million of these things, and these look to be the worst of those as far as condition goes. Hard pass. I got a 1973 Arsenal 16 in fantastic shape for $450 last year, before the stupidness kicked in...and I felt I over paid. It's a decent rifle. Heavy for what it is, but robust. Replaced the front sight post with a thin one from Tech sights and it will do 3-4" groups at 100 yards. The old man who runs the shop I bought it from now has two Yugos on the rack for thousand bucks a piece, but he'll let 'em go for "only" $900 if you haggle and pay cash. It's nuts.
What about today's market though? Where can you find one for cheaper?
I love historical firearms. If this scratches your itch, go for it. Just know that it's a beat up, obsolete rifle for $500. Just because it's the cheapest SKS available doesn't mean it's a good buy. But have at it if you want an SKS that badly. Today's market? If you waited this long to get a firearm, and really want one...look around. You can get a new AR for $150-200 more that's superior in nearly every way to the SKS.
I remember back in the day, when they use tho give you a free one of this with your tetanus shot.
Sad to see the surplus weapon supply is drying up. I love the the smell of cosmo in the morning.
Oh yeah, back in the day I bought a nicer one made at Arsenal 26 and paid a lot less for it. There I said it.
Those look beyond used :( I mean, like they ran out of bullets and started beating trucks with them. Hell, my shovel is in better shape than those.
I remember in 1978 when these were a nickel and came with a free piece of rock candy at the corner store
the funny thing is in 1980, before the imports arrived, a collector friend paid $1000 for a bringback.
Oh yeah. Well, I remember when they gave you one of these for free if you agreed to have electric lighting installed in your home.
"I remember when this was a different price, 30-40 years ago, at a completely different retailer, in a wholly different condition, under different circumstances."
There, I said it so no one else would would bring up their experience at Sears in 1983.
$89.95 in 1994-and with a milled receiver. Pretty decent shooter all things considered. After that shipment sold off a buddy paid $69.95 for a real POS-it had a stamped receiver, the gas tube wasn't even finished and the entire thing looked cobbled together. He had lots of FTF problems with it and it couldn't hit a pie plate at 50 feet! I tried to stop him but he jumped on it 'cuz it had a new-looking stock compared to all the others at the gun show that day...
