I purchased a Norinco SKK in Australia before they were banned. It didn't have the bayonet, came with 3x30-round mags and you could buy a 1400-round case for $120 AUD.
Dont ever sell it or trade it. I did to many of mine and ended up with no sks rifles. I have 1 russian sks now i just got 3 weeks ago. Im keeping it now. My bro has a norinco with a pigsticker.
These D types were sooo common in Australia when they were legal. Great toys. Some were commercial some were SKS conversions. They had the clip feed slot if origonal but wouldnt lock open. I had a carbine hunter. Got a guy to make up a push button hold open. I used to clip feed 20 into 30 rounds
You have my upmost respect and I admire your serious collection and love for the SKS. If you do not have any children or grandchildren that share our love for this magnificent rifle, and don’t mind adopting a nice 41 year old, I’m your baby. Always do my chores on time too. No but in all seriousness, with all my respect, if you ever consider parting with one, please let me know.
Everyone dogs on the SKS and its complete BS. With a little work, they can take metal or polymer mags. There goes the capacity advantage of modern guns. Nobody has full auto so there goes the volume of fire advantage. I'm not saying these are the ultimate gun or anything but they aren't wildly worse than a basic AK. The design was only a few years apart.
Having a rifle that can take stripper clips can be an advantage. Sometimes you dont want to drop the whole mag while topping off your ammo. I think these definitely still hold up as mid-long range rifles.
I have a Yugo SKS w/ Grenade Launcher muzzle break and sight. it was unfired when i bought it, date code is 1965 in believe. bought from Sweaty Ben of Classic firearms for $350 back in 2015.
Very nice I have a Chinese factory /26\ with all numbers matching even the stock with the sling swivel on the bottom. It’s a 2 mil ser. I think 1957 year of production. Bought it blind next in que and didn’t understand at the time they tried to finagle me outta the sale once it was in hand now I know what a early matching example it is so it makes sense later.
Except that on my SKS Chinese military I used a 20 rounds magazine and it was a pos, I rather carry ten clips in a pouch and have no issues. Had it for 18 years have only shot around 300 to 400 rounds. I love it. Since I am older now it becomes a little heavy at 68 YO.
Beautiful SKS's. I would be extremely happy with any one of those. I'm actually thinking about getting an SKS pretty soon. Unfortunately, I would probably have to stay away from the D version with the detachable magazine. Our left-wing leader here in Canada gets his panties in a bunch over detachable mags.
i got a new unissued russian 1953 tula with black metal and dark wood. beautiful. 13 stripper clips ( i sold my 2 30 round steel magazines and my 2 20 round plastic magazines) stripper clips work great, sks magazine do not. my brother had the short barrel, no bayonet, ak magazine paratrooper sporter varient. I love to bump fire mine
I have my Dad's SKS but it doesn't have numbers on the stock and has Chinese characters beside a triangle on the side of he bolt. It has a shortened barrel also. Any idea of year
I take apart the bolt and clean it out so the firing pin never sticks. I have a russian sks i got 3 weeks ago and had no trigger. I ordered a trigger from ebay amd the bastards ripped me off. They say its all there but theres a pin that holds the hammer, hammer pivot pin, it was missing. I ordered 2 from gunparts corps and a buttstock extender , its like a 1inch pad to make it abit more longer for more easy to aim.
My SKS has a very blonde stock. I kind of dont like it? lol But as i bring it up to my sholder i noticed the rear sight is out of line as if its bent? Its barely noticable but i finally did notice it. In any case i will be working on it and making it right. You have some nice rifles. But one is enough for me i just want it to function as expected hehe
Looking for information on a 92 SKS Sportster 16-in barrel, which has a provision for an AK-47 magazine. I got the number 92 which is sitting next to the serial number. It's got a strange scope mount that I've never seen anywhere in the internet. It's a five digit serial number starting with 34. Looking for any documentation I can find on this.
Scope mount was added, if you look closely it might be a mid-90s commercial Norinco variant called an SKS-M with a reciever marked as such. They have 16 in barrel, cleaning rod, but no bayonet, many had thumbhole stock, some had monte carlo stocks, no stripper clip slot on BCG. Look at the model marking. Marketed as a sporter, often erroneously called paratrooper model.
The sks can easily be removed from its original stock to a sport stock will accept all sights,light and cameras, and reduced weight,the sks can be tricked out,matched trigger can replace original trigger in two minutes,gas port mods, make this the gun that remains when all else have failed
Take the metal butt plate off (2 screws) and you’ll be able to see what’s wrong. The little plunger device only pushes in one way, somebody may have installed it backwards in the past.
I have a somewhat rare sks I need to date it is all numbers matching its a sks paratrooper with the paratrooper spike bayo if possible is there a way I can email you the photos of what you would need to identify it because I'd love to know exactly what I have
Almost every time I have had my SKS at the range, I always get at least one guy that tries to make me an offer on it. Is it getting difficult to find these or something?
Like everything else, they are getting scarce, so they command a pretty decent price now. Its a great gun, but not the budget winner it used to be. I got mine for $400, $400 and $450. Gettng ready to flip 2 of them for just a little bit of profit.
I've still never seen the one I have. It is an original military surplus, with a scope mount tapped into the receiver with scope. I paid about $250 for it when regular SKS's were still about a hundred. I was told it was rare and it must be, I've never seen another like it, any info would be appreciated.
Some variations had removable magazines...they dont seem to work all that well. The clips are hella fast and it locks open on empty. So loading with a magazine takes longer in my limited experience.
They modified some to take AK mags at the factory, for export to the US. I've heard mixed reviews of them but never had one. I hate the duckbills, but my SKSs work great with them and the original fixed mag. They also load from stripper clips just fine.
I see your video is a bit older but things havnt changed that much im sure. I just purchased my SKS and its a commercial Chinese one made in CGA so im not sure whatthat means? Its all nuymbers matching but for some reason the left side of the stock almost covers the serial number.....? Also sine it was owned by one of the guys that worked at the shop i purchased from it has a UTG reciever end plate and has a modified dust cover that has four bolts on it to attach the scope mount and scope. I took that off. I gotta get a new dust cover. I actually forgot to ask the owner for any original parts he may have had? damit! Well at least i have purchased other rifles since so maybe he would give them to me........?hahaha maybe not? IDK
@@mark-wn5ek it is a Russian design, not Vietnamese. You probably are one of those who think that the AK 47 stock is short because Vietnameses are small people.
I think this variant of sks is suitable for NATO but name must be modified to NATO Weapon type 03 ( SKS type 03). Explain : SKS for variant of weapon and 03 for the kind of weapon function : 1.Carabin 2 .Automatic Weapon 3. Semi Automatic Weapon.
If the pins dont work , then ill order a trigger set for 98$. .i know were to get them too. I hope just thenpin fixes it, well it will becuse its the piece missing and i ordered it. It will be here in a month. My sks had no pins and is 10shots, i use the stripperclips to load.
@John Beige Im new to the SKS world. Is their an insert to take the metal magazines? I have the polymer ones with the weird arm to lock in the mag. Seems sloppy and would like something better.
Kinda weird listening the Americans talk about the sks like they r this rare awsome rife when u guys can buy so many rifles, here in Canada these rifles (Russian 200$ , Chinese 150$) from big box stores 2. Im jealous lol
Have you heard of the Chinese MAK 90 AK? It is one of the best AK'S out there. The Polytech versions are going for $3000.00. Look them up if you want to be impressed with Chinese Quality.
Sad to here that Jeremy. I was stationed at Marine Barracks Bangor ( near Bremerton) and really loved traveling yout state. Still have friends from Seattle to Spokane. Sad to hear this news.
I have a killed and sawed SKS of the 51st year I had to take it for 260 dollars. They sawed the bottom of the barrel down to the chamber and cut off the shutter mirror. Bitches even sawed a bayonet.
I purchased a Norinco SKK in Australia before they were banned. It didn't have the bayonet, came with 3x30-round mags and you could buy a 1400-round case for $120 AUD.
SKSs and AKMs are simply made of steel and wood but they are so reliable, effective and easy to use which is why i love em!
nice collection aye
I never see these variants of SKS. Thank you for showing them!!
Thanks for sharing! Buying my first and possibly only one, learned alot to guide me, cheers!
I only have one SKS. It’s a 1953 all numbers match from the Tula Factory. I love it. It is a great deal of fun to shoot.

I loved mine paid $99 for it brand new still in the cosmoline .Put a scope on it and Butler creek polymer stock Great deer rifle comparable to a 30-30
Lucky dog. I wish I moved on them 15 years ago. I paid almost 5 times that last year at height of the panic gun buying crisis.
@@factorybear5264 meh with inflation u pretty much paid the same
Very nice! thanks for sharing your collection.
Nice SKS collection. I bought my first Chinese SKS in 1996 for $69 new in box, no bayonet. The refurbished Russian was $89 at that time.
A little more than that now... I have a nice Russian, laminate stock, a good rifle.
fn fal or sks for long range ?
@@user-eu3mc7xr6w fn for sure.
Ours, brand new, pro cleaned by the shop, with accessories (ammo sling, cleaning stuff, oil bottle, sling), box of ammo and tax, in 1998....$117

Please don't try to add the detachable magazine to the sks they arent 90-100 dollars anymore they are a piece of history
Exactly like I put Butler Creek stock ,scope ,and detachable mag assembly..It was sweet with the scope mounts I could still use the iron sights

Amazing collection
One of the greatest rifles ever built
ECLECTIC 361///// I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR BUT THEY ARE NICE,TUFF LITTLE RIFLES !!!!!!
The other Chinese rifle is a model 56
Built in Jianshe #26 Armory. It was built sometime in the early 60s.
I had issues with my first SKS slam firing. With a little cleaning and a firepin replacement never had that again
Awsome and beautifull. The sks is the perfect shtf tool. Itll shoot till the end of time. There built like a ruger gp100
I have a Yugo SKS w/ Grenade Launcher muzzle break and sight. it was unfired when i bought it, date code is 1965 in believe. bought from Sweaty Ben of Classic firearms for $350 back in 2015.
Brand new sub here. I love sks

Can you give us a link to were you get the sks parts ? Thanks
Sarco is one E-Bay and Classic Firearms hope this helps. Many to choose from research as I also own Mossin Nagants they also have everything you need.
What variant is the one with the duckbill mag. I have a norinco with the duckbill hard to find mags that work with it
I have a Norinco, I have never seen one yet for sale that takes AK mags, will probably buy it if I see one.
Where did you get that butt stock from the first sks?
Beautiful SKS's. I would be extremely happy with any one of those. I'm actually thinking about getting an SKS pretty soon. Unfortunately, I would probably have to stay away from the D version with the detachable magazine.

The model that takes removable mags, is that how the rifle is made or did you or someone modifiy it to take magazines?
I don’t have one but thinking about it. I only have Mausers and a few hand guns. Beautiful rifles sir
Ive got a factory 26, blade bayonet that was bubba'd in the 90's. I need a blade cut stock with side swivel to complete my restoration.
Good luck I've been trying. Can't find one
Никогда я ещё не видел столько СКС в одном видео.
nice getting one
I have my Dad's SKS but it doesn't have numbers on the stock and has Chinese characters beside a triangle on the side of he bolt. It has a shortened barrel also. Any idea of year
Late reply. But you got a paratrooper, or cowboy companion SKS. They sell for more than standard Yugo or Norinco SKS rifles as less were imported.

You have to push it in to retrieve the kit. Mine was a little siezed from some cosmoline, I just used a wide round punch and gave it a few light taps

They work well if you use a metal mag or a p-mag but p-mags are tougher to seat, they have less friction due to material.

Attach a sniping scope to it and a suppressor and it would become a good assassin's weapon.
