The Chinese SKS, AKA the Type 56 "Semi" Carbine is an iconic participant of conflicts in Vietnam, and a significantly armed the Chinese PLA.
In North America, it has often been hailed as a "more accurate" host for the 7.62x39 cartridge, but how does our specimen reflect that?
**Take note that this is ONE specimen of many, we invite you to film response videos, hopefully with 9-10 shot groups of your SKS to see if we draw from a larger sample size! **
A special thanks to Brandon from The Gun Room in the Woodlands Texas for loaning us this specimen. Also thanks to Mr. Phuc Long from Firepower United.... for everything.
**Huge Thanks to Kevin S. for helping us with the Chinese subtitles!**

You guys cut out way to early. I was expecting arty to rain in.... :-(
Americans: Type 56 naming is confusing Also Americans: M1 Garand, M1 carbine, M1 submachinegun, M1 flamethrower, M1 bayonet, M1 helmet, M1 Bazooka, M1 mortar
M1 Abrahms
If we're confused, the enemy must also be confused.
Its called strategery.
M1 ball ammo
Some time later
M1 deathstar
Don’t forget all the Japanese WWII equipment.
Phuc Long is a national treasure, and should be protected at all costs.

An SKS is a rifle for sniping *extremely unlucky* people.
@@randymagnum143 slightly more accurate than an AK, not enough to matter
I have owned 6 SKS. 2 would shoot a 2" group at 100 yards from a seated rest. The other 4 would shoot a 4" group on a good day.
I’ve got two that are real good and three that are at 4” . My two good ones are k sports imports one is in its butler creek stock and the other is a wood stock para .
@@NCrdwlf Remember to never sell the ones that shoot good and dump the ones that don't.
I shot one that did almost 1MOA. Then I had one that kept hitting the target on the right and left of where I was aiming must been a 3' group.
I own the same exact model in this video, the one with the pole bayonet which I believe was the civilian model. Was imported into Canada many years ago and bought brand new by the person I purchased it from. It has an extremely tight stock where only the rear portion of the receiver will lift out some when I disassemble it to that step, but the front is so tight that I'm worried it might affect the harmonics/accuracy of my rifle if I force it too much. Does anyone know if tight tolerances are attributing to some rifles being more accurate than others? I've seen many that are very loose and have some form of play in the fit.

I remember in my childhood visiting the house of a Vietnam War vet (this would have been mid-1970s) in the USA. He had a trophy Chinese SKS on the wall. I recall that the light-coloured wood furniture of the carbine was almost orange.
Virgin SKS wood if its dark its battle tested gun oil and weather staines
@@mixinthebisquic1238 I remember thinking the gun was rather beautiful, although looking back its light rust colour tending towards orange might have made it conspicuous in combat, especially in the jungle.
Just about pissed myself laughing with that intro. Calvin in Vietnam gear and shades drinking Corona through a straw. Inspiring!
I know right. Loved the little lip smacky sounds he makes.
NICE!!! I absolutely love the Paris by Night comment, I grew up being forced to watch it.
I was looking for an SKS test this week and was almost tempted to write a strongly worded email about how it's needed. I'll keep my strong words to myself now.
This video has satisfied many of my short term needs!
I prefer the SKS over the mini 14. -Henry
@@9HoleReviews I do as well. Mini 14's are civilian budget rifles and show it. SKS's are military specification rifles and show it, much more rugged.
The AK is actually known as the Type 56 submachine gun as neither the Soviets nor Chinese made too much fuss about the difference between a smg and assault rifle.
The Soviets did, that's why it's an AK and not a PPK.
Chinese called ak .. model 56 ,,at least the one I had came with that on the paperwork
@@o9rgeronimo979 However if it's a Preban, The rifle itself will say AK-S 7.62x39
What's an assault rifle?
Reminds me of the Romanians calling the WASR an "automatic pistol"
"Type56" refers to the year that each of the Soviet firearm designs was adopted by the Chinese: SKS, AK, and RPD were all adopted by the Chinese in 1956
yes, but the trio was originally soviet doctrine to begin with. They were designed as a family of weapons.
I added Tech Sights on mine, eyes got old whilst the soul stays young
Ive watched so many of these videos over the years....when its been awhile...the opening notes of the music, when Henry is goin up the stairs, gives me chills. I love this series!
I was actually pretty impressed with my Yugo SKS’s accuracy that I used to own.
Indeed, Henry didn't bother to check the zero before testing and bummed me out. When I first got my Norinco SKS the zero was way off (8 low and 6 left), but once I got it squared away I've been very happy with it.
@@derekgriffith6600 For additional information, the general design of the SKS is 0.8in R50 at 100m with a margin of error there depending on build quality and tolerances of any specific rifle, which isn't particularly convertible to MOA because it counts hits in vertical string and horizontal cross sections. Either way, it's perfectly acceptable in a combat capacity with less than a full torso spread up to somewhere around 400-500m.
Ah yes. The Canadian boog rifle
Indeed, my Type56 is a true beater gun I've taken to the brush multiple times and I'd trust my life on it. The consistency and accuracy seen in the video is pretty much on par with what I expected. Lately, I've started to favor my Type81 for outings, though. It's shaping up to be my runner-up with very little margin. It's got some disadvantage, like it's being shown in the video (it's basically a fancy-ish looking AK, only the safety and the BHO differs), but I got myself 10-round mags. The Type81 shoots so softly even compared to the SKS;:it's also short-stroke operated but the bolt has a lot more space to travel and doesn't noticeably kick back at all, with all the 'jerk' being on the BCG/bolt slamming back into battery.
I'd love to see a vid by 9HR on it.
although a decent choice i think the norc m14/m1a or the type 97 wins in the non restricted category plus we have the blc 102 and the coyote now
That's about all they have left at this point, no more sweet vz's
@@blackrat1228 no more VZ58??
I'd rather have the 18 inch 500 dollar M14 clones they have up there if I'm stuck to 5 rounds better make it 5 big ones or are they allowed to have 10 round mags on the SKS?

You forgot to extend the bayonet. Everyone knows the SKS is zero'd at the factory with the bayonet extended. Duh.
Not true
Bout bayonet extend...I doubt any were zeroed with bayonet extended
Smh
chris waltemath Mosins were idk why sks would not

Its absolutely true. Ive seen it on both mosins and sks and even type 56 aks.

Also, as a Canadian my brain couldn't compute when you put all ten round in the mag via stripper clip lol

WTH!!! One of your craziest, funniest intros ever. I appreciate all you do. Your shooting coverage is phenominal and all you need to do. But the extra fun and wit you put into your intros just push things to the next level. Thank you, sirs.
I been asking for this review for years, I'm very happy
Honestly, the best I've ever seen out of an SKS is one I'd bought and spent the time trying to accurize. It was a Norinco SKS I paid about $300 for, spent maybe $300 more trying to get it up to par. Using Lapua Brass and shooting from the prone free handed I could get 1 1/4 MOA at best. I did put it on a bench and vise once to see just how tight it would go, never went below 1 MOA.
But that was an SKS I had put a lot of work into and used top quality ammo. When I used Steel cased stuff like that Barnual you used, I was getting maybe 2 3/4 MOA prone free handed. Worst group I ever saw was 3 3/4. But before I did that work to it, with the Lapua it was a solid 2 to 2 1/2 MOA gun. With steel, like 3-5 depending on brand and such. But I've seen other SKS examples that were easily 4-6 MOA with the same stuff. There's just so much variances in one SKS from the next it's hard to compare sometimes but what you shot and showed was pretty reflective of MOST SKS rifles I've seen grouped or shot myself. They almost all string vertically, whether or not they do to the right, left, or stay centered is up to the SKS and ammo usually.
I'm sure somebody will be saying how it's not fair because it's not a Russian SKS or anything... But that's a load of crap. I've shot more than a few Russian SKS and while if they are in good shape they DO tend to shoot a bit nicer than the Chinese ones, most Russians are not in tip top shape and shoot about the same. Romanian SKS rifles are built to the same standard as Russian ones usually but never seem to get that level of praise. Though some of those Yugo SKS rifles have had some of the best groups I've seen. I think that extra weight at the front with the grenade launcher devices is why. One of the things I like but also dislike as they are heavier than most other SKS's.
I think a series of comparing SKS to AK rifles would be interesting even if I've seen some of that stuff a thousand times or more.
I had a Chinese export sks that I swear was at best a 10 moa rifle, it was junk. The military version is actually pretty nice but those exports are crap.
@@kylec.6818 Truth is most SKS rifles are 5-6 MOA guns. People just often like to attribute qualities and traits to them they simply don't have. I have seen some really bad examples like what you mentioned, I believe it was shooting 8 MOA with typical steel cased stuff.
I don't feel that's the norm for them however.
@@Predalien195 I had a friend with a Russian SKS that was a tack driver.
@@kylec.6818 I've seen a handful of examples that shoot tighter than most SKS rifles. I recall when a friend of mine bought a Russian and I got a Norinco the same day, my Norinco was shooting about 4 MOA with steel and about 2 3/4 with brass. And his was shooting about 6 MOA with steel and 4 MOA with brass.
I find some are just built good and others not so much. I ended up doing an accurizing job on the gun, rebedding the stock and a trigger and action job. Got it down to shooting 1 1/4 MOA with Lapua Brass free handed from the prone and around 3 1/2 MOA with steel.
we gotta get these boys a better mount for the spotter, or like, a box to block the wind!
Very cool to see this with SKS , love the channel and what you guys do!
I picked one of these up a few years ago from an older gentleman's collection at the local shop and it had absolutely zero wear on the internal and external surfaces. I've put a few thousand rounds through it and it has a similar pattern. Great firearm and I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

This performed about as well as I expected lol. I have a Type-56 and love it. But it’s far from a target rifle. Awesome video, thanks guys.
great gun for typical hunting and engagement scenarios but definitely NOT a marksman rifle.
its not a bench rest gun but you can hit clay pigeons out to 300m if the barrel is still in good condition. That is a target rifle to me. The chinese sks was not sighted in for barnauls higher loaded 7.62x39mm it has about 100 FPS extra and the point of impact is off. It was sighted in for the type 56 manufactured ammo in china which have a steel core and longer bullets
In terms of accuracy, its basically a combloc mini-14.
Newer mini 14s are alright. My dad has one that does 2 - 3 moa with federal XM193

impeccable timing... i just ordered a grade 2 Type 56 #26 factory make from PSA last week.
That retro Commando at the end 😍 !!!!!! Excited to see that little thing!
My Chinese SKS also strings groups vertically. It’d be interesting to alter certain variables such as, bayonet, ammo, etc to see if I can identify the cause.
Finally the long awaited video has arrived lmao
That was the best opening you guys have done.
This video couldn’t have been more perfectly timed...I literally JUST got a 1983 Norinco SKS
@Greg Sheppard ez to see if it’s a Norinco if there’s Chinese characters on it, and you check for the year by looking at the last two digits of the serial number…add 53 I think? There’s a specific number that you add to it that I don’t remember.
Plus most newer SKS’s will be Chinese, since Russia stopped production well before China did. And the russian ones will be crazy expensive
Some note on my personal experience (an old man's) you may find interesting: 1. Most of the Vietnam variant SKS's had blade bayonets and milled trigger guards. I've shot a lot of them back when. Even beat up and worn out, they were accurate and about 2.5 minutes of angle at 100 yards. 2. When I left the Army in 1988, I bought a SKS variant sold by Norinco. It had a cuneiform bayonet, a wooden handguard/gas block cover and a stamped steel trigger guard. Less than six months later, I bought a Polytech milled receiver AK-47S. I also had a case or two of the Chinese 7.62 X 39 I bought at the same time. It was military surplus, came in a wooden case with two spam cans on stripper clips wrapped in paper, was ball ammo and the best 7.62 X 39 ammo I've shot in over 30 years of shooting. It was accurate. 3. One day at a small 100 yard range (measured) near my home, I shot both the SKS and the AK-47S milled receiver rifles using the Chinese surplus ammo. Results of ten 10-round groups: SKS averaged 2.5 MOA consistently, no vertical stringing. AK-47S averaged 3.5 MOA consistently, no vertical stringing. 4. Checking with other friends who could shoot, I found this was pretty consistent results from their rifles of the time (Several SKS and AK/AKS variants. Later on, there were other variants to show up and I'm not sure if they were commercial or later military surplus. It was hard to tell and no one but the Chinese arsenals can probably answer this question. Only regret: I wish I had bought a pallet of that ammo. It was going for 50 bucks a tin or 100 a case, cheapest ammo around. Comparatively, the ammo made in the former Soviet Union is junk. Just my .02, Dave

Hey guys how about a semi DPM to review? I've got one to send
Please contact us at 9holereviews@gmail.com HUGE YES.
I shot some extremely accurate SKS/AKMs and then again I shot quite a few that basically had sewer pipes for barrels. Some knock the 7.62x39mm for various reasons, especially the .300 black out fan boys.
Its not a bad round its just not a great one. I would rather have a .300BLK for the better BC but 30 Soviet is so easy to find most of the time why not shoot it.
It's like a .30/30, but only shoots light bullets. Out of exceptionally mediocre rifles.
You guy's make a great team
An SKS was the first center fire rifle I ever owned. I paid about $70 for it. Plus, you could get those big olive drab tins of ammo for it for less than that. I shot a large bunch of ammo thru it, then traded it off. Never should've done it.
Been there, done that. The SKS has the cold bore accuracy level over the AK. both guns shoot pattern after the 3-5 rounds as the barrel warms up and you need to buy better ammo!
I wondered about that but I've never seen anybody show their work and demonstrate it. When I was a youth SKSs were cheap and plentiful but I didn't like them.
Nothing wrong with the ammo.
The ammo was fine. If you paid attention he said they tested that same ammo minutes apart on the AKM on the day after this video and then much later both were tested again. (assuming with a cold barrel both times). So no. It's definitely the rifle. Mine shoots the same with "minute of man" accuracy. Without a spotter you're not likely to easily make 300 meter shots at least not without a lot of adjustment. But people always get mad when I say that the SKS is a 200 meter rifle at best. I'm sure here and there a few people have a "sweet" example where the stars aligned on the day theirs was produced, but in general, the Type 96 models at least, are generally not particularly accurate rifles even if they look like they should be accurate. I love mine and will never sell mine as its a great hog gun, is super reliable, and very fun to shoot. But people need to stop pretending that it's some kind of sniper rifle or something just because it has a long barrel. It's just a simple and crude mass produced WWII style battle rifle designed to be reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to operate as it was meant for conscripts. It's lack of accuracy is probably one of many reasons why the AK-47 replaced it.
@@wigon I've shot steel case ammo and I've shot better quality brass boxer primed from the same gun at the same time and conditions, the better ammo shot smaller groups. 20 years ago I was lucky enough to snag 200 rounds of 7.62x39 Lapua Match ammo for the princely sum of $22. It shot first 3 rounds touching at 100 yards, first 5 inside 1.5 inches and the whole magazine into 2" group. No steel cased ammo I've shot in any of my SKS's(owned 3, still have 2) has ever got close to the Lapua Match in consistency. I reload these cases till this day with Reloder 7, CCI 220 primers and 123 Hornady FMJ bullets. The FMJ bullets are more accurate than HP bullets through my rifles. 400 yards with 6x scope on a Choate Machine Tool mount is boringly easy to hit. I use the Tech Sight TS200 sight on my Paratrooper model with a Williams Fire sight front post. Huge improvement over the stock sights. If I'm shooting feral hog for eating, I load 160 cast lead bullets loaded to 1500 fps. BTW I've been shooting SKS's since the started importing them some 30 years ago. It's more the poor man's Mini-30 IMO than a AR/AK competitor.
How about a video on the Springfield 1903 rifle?
Loved the ending.
Thanks for doing The SKS video
Greetings from South Africa guys, excellent video as always.
Will you by any chance be doing a video on the Tikka t3x tac a1 at some stage? I know that's very specific, I would just love to know your opinion on that setup. It's hailed as being a very competitive rifle even in a class of rifles 5 times as expensive. Is this possible or just hot air from fanboys?
I believe it was Ryan Cleckner who also had nothing but good praises for it...
Best regards from this side of the world. Keep doing what you're doing and stay safe
I think Bloke On The Range did a video on the Canadian Ranger version of it and I don't believe he was to impressed.
It's a good rifle, as all Tikkas are. That being said, I would recommend getting T3X Varmint and putting it in Cadex/MDT chassis. At least back when I was buying my T3X, Varmint had more caliber choices than TAC A1. This way I have it in 6.5x55, which is almost half the price of similar quality 6.5CM with similar ballistics. Ofc that only applies to where i live, I dunno what is the situation where you are, but ammo cost is important. The cheaper it is, the more you will be able to shoot. And with many modern rifles, the shooter is the limiting factor, so training is important.
The rifle+chassis cost me around the same as TAC A1 would.
Also, I highly recommend Accuracy International style bolt handle from Sterk for your Tikka. A small thing, but I love it.

Had a norinco sks paratrooper and loved it. Early 90's it was $120 brand new at our local gun shows. Such a fun gun to go out a just shoot and go berserk with. Ammo was super cheap back then too
I have a Norinco Chinese SKS that I bought in 1989 for $69.00. when I was 19 I shot it at a high-power match with Norinco Steel case ammo. I shot a 372 and was asked to shoot for the State Junior High Power Team. They signed me over a National Match M1A. I still have the SKS to this day, I'm 53 now.
my SKS has drifts for the front sight to adjust. It used to pull right as well, but you just gotta zero the sights to get them back on target

I commented what about an sks last week and you delivered ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always kinda thought my AK shoots better than my SKS but couldn’t justify it. This videos confirms that for me.
Wasn't it in soviet doctrine to hold a 6oclock low? I just thought I've heard that before when you mentioned it at the 500 yard target.
Nice
Well done , gentlemen !
The intro, pubg/tarkov references and the outro are gold :)
Those real strange random patterning makes me wonder about ammo, but who knows maybe It's got bad thermal issues. Cool to see someone put the SKS through the paces.
the T56 AK was shot minutes after with the same ammo and does not exhibit the stringing pattern.
@@9HoleReviews agreed, it seems ammo isn't likely. Maybe poor harmonics. Hard to tell since it seems intermittent. Then again, most military rifles of WWII era(design in this case) were not mandated to be near as accurate as many suspect. So it may be the design was good enough, just not perfect. Oh well, still appreciate the effort you guys put into it.
I chalk it up to bad harmonics. Bayonet pinned on barrel, that wood stock in combination with the long stroke piston...
Barnaul 7.62x39 tends to be pretty good.
@@9HoleReviews vertical stringing, when not a heat issue, is usually due to the shooter not controlling movement at the stock end. And I read years ago that because of barrel harmonics, the bayonet should be extended when zeroing
Love how the SKS is hard to find in the US - go to any gun store in Canada to grab a crate of them haha.
I hv a type 56 sks I inherited and don't know what kind it is ...can u help? I'm in Tx.. It looks just like the one ur using. Has Chinese Mark's and stock is well worn as maybe used in war. I hv a son named Calvin. Thanks so much for info.
back in the 90's they were a dime a dozen in the US, I got my chinese sks for... (HA I just looked in my records) $79 That's $147 in 2020bucks Damn good rifle.

Love your channel. No bullshit. Thanks y'all!
I love the intro! For that sexy weapon, I would scrub all four tires with a tooth brush. That intro alone was worth a like, a sub and a bell ring. Plus, a thorough review of past videos.
