Sorry, but I think I’m gonna need at least one more video! In one of your first vids you introduced me to the insane (yet weirdly pretty functional) world of compression mounted optics. I didn’t hear you touch on it here, but it looks to me that you were bang on the money. I might be wrong (I’ve only known about the concept for maybe a week) but if that scope was in fact compression mounted you made a hell of a call inferring that from that first insanely blurry picture! It’s crap that it took a situation like this for you to shine on YT, but damn man, you nailed it all right out the gate.
Thanks for sticking with the videos - I hear you loud and clear. A video on SKS optics mounting “solutions”, hopefully including a live fire test of something similar to what we saw in Florida, is in the works.
@@mikefitzgerald2615 Kind of a complicated question. At risk of self promoting, I have a video called “What is a Norinco”, in which I break down the confusion of that label. Long story short: The rifle in question was very likely manufactured before 1980, which means Norinco didn’t exist yet. That said, it was very likely exported by Norinco, and it may have been retroactively marked “Made in China by Norinco”, even if that wasn’t strictly true. Finally, regardless of the protestations of SKS nerds like myself, “Norinco” will always be an accepted colloquial term for any Chinese weapon, regardless of technical accuracy.
Nice collection bro I used to own a load of them myself but they were very cheap when I started collecting I'm down to just a few these days I have a special love for the SKS rifles and always will
🇦🇺😎👍The SKS D is illegal now in Australia since the ban on all semi automatic rifles in 1997. Back then apparently the gun industry labeled them SKK and the 10 shot models were just SKS. Don’t know why they called them SKKs… not too sure why they got seperate labels
I totally agree with your assessment. I am a long time SKS owner.. owning 2 different SKS pattern rifles - A Russian SKS and a Chinese Norinco SKS-D that I have owned since the late 80's. When I seen the shooters Bubba'd up SKS.. I believed it to be a Chinese Type 56 SKS. What I do NOT believe is that the shooter was really there to assassinate ANYONE with a rifle that had a scope mounted to it using electrical tape! - how can this even be taken seriously?
Not sure why people complain about you doing your homework, you definitely know your stuff on sk’s and if not then you search for the answer. Great knowledge you have sir.
To any and all first time viewers of this channel: Mr Triangle is THE go to for anything SKS. The knowledge, experience and presentation is magnificent!
I've always had a passion for history and anything that goes boom, but your channel has given me a much greater appreciation for the SKS. It's refreshing to watch someone who isn't trying to be an expert in everything. Too bad every weapon system doesn't a Triangle26.
Question? Why wasn't there a scope mount on the SKS? Other thing this guy or someone else took off the bayonet fair enough to say?WHY? How do we know that this SKS wasn't made from a PARTS KIT? This 1 was definitely Vietnam Era SKS. Is it possible for someone or anyone to take the shot using iron sights?
1) There are not generally scope mounts on SKS pattern carbines, which is why this guy (or whoever he illegally purchased the rifle from) used an improvised setup. 2) Realistically, removing the bayonet from an SKS is probably prudent for most uses. Obviously collectors like myself wouldn’t dream of it, but functionally, it’s pretty much dead weight. Why not make the gun a little lighter, it’s not like he was going to bayonet charge a former president. 3) SKS’s are *almost never* made from parts kits, because they are legal for importation without modification. Parts kits exist because select fire or otherwise non-eligible firearms legally need to be broken down, and reassembled in the U.S. according to 922(r). 4) It’s certainly possible for someone to take a ~500 yard shot using SKS iron sights, during daylight conditions.
That’s a great question, and the answer is a little confusing. It comes down to is the fact that weapon labels have evolved over time, and the term “carbine” meant something different in the late 1940’s than it does today. At the time the SKS was developed, it was considered a carbine in comparison to larger battle rifles like the M1 Garand or SVT-40. In fact, the “K” in “SKS” stands for “карабин”, the Russian word for Carbine. That label stuck, and countries like China still classified their version as the Type 56 “Carbine”, despite that fact that it has a longer barrel than their Type 56 “Rifle” (which is just an AK). Long story short, the SKS is a carbine because SKS literally means: “Simonov’s Carbine, Semi-Automatic”. There are quite a few examples of this same phenomenon, ranging from historic to quite modern.
It really, really does. I’ve heard some people calling it the “Gary Busey Rifle”, and although I don’t mean to be unkind to Gary Busey… I see the resemblance in man and weapon.
You're assuming that the Alphabets would desire to provide something better than CCTV still frames to the public. You'll get what they give and like it because you can't handle the truth! LOL
I’d like to know who added the scope with hose clamps. I think considering China made the most SKSs it’s Chinese. Guy probably got it from a black market back alley dealer and it was the best he could do as a felon seeking a rifle.
TFB claimed that the scope was held on by electrical tape. You mentioned in a previous video that it was a clamp. Could you add some detail about the clamp?
great investigative skills, very good explanations with very good background for opinions , clarification , and possible differences due to "rebuilds. thanks very much!
I agree, I think 2-piece has tube is far more likely. That said, I have seen a few “1-piece” gas tubes that have very similar geometry - so I didn’t feel comfortable making the call. Don’t want to look silly later if better pictures come out.

I really appreciate your analysis, and your methods of preemptive shutdown of the keyboard warriors. Anyway, one topic you may find interesting to address (or not) could be to look at what you would consider a "properly" bubba-fied SKS. I have an all numbers matching Norinco Type 56 with blade bayonet that will stay unmolested, but I have toyed with the idea of "modernizing" an already basket cased SKS if I ever encounter one in the wild. For instance, what would you consider for a scope mount that holds zero? What kind of magazine adapter that doesn't include duckbills? That sort of thing. I don't know, maybe that's too much...
Most likely a Chinese barreled receiver with non matching parts such as trigger group, bolt carrier, etc, notice the gas tube bluing is different from the barrel below it, I have seen numerous rifles with non matching parts, such as Russian parts mixed on Chinese, Yugo stock with Chinese barreled receiver.
Could you make a video on how to date your Chinese SKS? Dating my Russian one was pretty easy.😅 Too bad there's not a way to send you my Chinese rifles info. Thanks for your videos!
Can we talk about the elephant in the room? What kind on caveman uses electrical tape to secure a scope on the receiver and then puts some kind of tube on it to, what, mark his eye relief? With the scope there, won't the first ejected round bounce down off the scope and jam the bolt?
I think about that often. I’m not an expert on foreign affairs, the environment, medicine, what have you. But I do know a thing or two about guns, so as soon as someone start lying to me about guns, all I can do is assume that they are lying about everything else…

Thank you for your time and expertise identifying this rifle.
If it has a 20" barrel, is it a carbine or a rifle? Because you keep saying carbine. I'm no expert, so maybe I'm missing something.

I find it amazing how many variants there are of the SKS, and all the places they have turned up.
I’d like to know who added the scope with hose clamps. I think considering China made the most SKSs it’s Chinese. Guy probably got it from a black market back alley dealer and it was the best he could do as a felon seeking a rifle.
Imagine if it had been an Albanian sks. It would have made this whole thing even more ridiculous.
That would have added a beautiful additional layer of absurdity.

TFB claimed that the scope was held on by electrical tape. You mentioned in a previous video that it was a clamp. Could you add some detail about the clamp?
