    unknown sks

    I everyone! I have done many different researches trying to figure out what kind of sks that I have. At first I thought that it was a SKS M but after doing a more in depth investigation im now not sure. Things i know, it is a 1976/77 rifle, it is from the 6601 arsenal, it has a number 3 rear leaf sight, and that it is a type 56 rifle. It used to have the monty carlo stock but it was damaged and thrown out abd replaced with a russian sks stock. Any info will help greatly!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Phil, the #3 sight ladder was found on both the Chinese commercial as well as the Police variant. The barrel with no bayo lug is characteristic of the Model M that takes AK mags but I can't see the mag release well enough to tell if that's whats on the rifle it appears to be the same mag release found on standard SKS rifle but maybe you can look at these pics and figure it out. New Page 1

    Another thing is that the SKS D came with a 30 rd. AK mag. while the SKS M came with a standard 10 rd. detachable mag.

    When I originally got it it had the 10 round mag. As for the mag release is like that of a normal sks. I bought a couple of the 30 round mags and sold the 10 round mag. Would it be worth trying to find another 10 round with a good condition Monty Carlo stock?

    SKS-M uses AK mags with AK style mag release, 16.5" shortend barrel, a neutered bayonet lug, and date specific serial number (93 or 94 prefixes).

    This looks like a standard pre-ban, Type56 with an aftermarket, duckbill hi-cap magazine. 1976 triangle arsenal guns will have a serial number beginning with 21. 1977 triangle serials will begin with 22.
