sks 26 1967

[mgarrno4]

Hi thought I would share my new sks experience. Just picked it up a couple day ago at a gun pond shop. It looked pretty good and I had been wanting a semi auto for a good while. Needless to say the darling girl came home with me. I will post some pictures of it for all to see.
On the left side of the receiver it has a /26\ ### chinese marks 111364xx P
right below on the stock it has a /2\ triangle.
It was full of cosmoline every where except on the outside of the gun. after a long cleaning I was very happy with the results the barrel was pristine.
Took it out today shoots like a dream. well I will try and post the pic's now.

Wow that has a great looking stock. I had a 26 once, but the stock looked like someone stored it in a sewer. It was a little off where fired from the sights, but it was accurate with a scope.

Thanks very much. What kind of scope mount did you put your scope on. having some trouble finding one for my side mount.

This is what I've got. It came with a Russian SKS and when I put the original cover back on that rifle, I just kept the scope in this cover and put in on my Chinese. I don't know anything about it, but it keeps zero.

Thank you for your response. Nice looking outfit but I don't want to change the receiver cover. I would prefer to use the side mount i have. Let me know if you find out anything. have a great day.

Is that a rail on the left side?? Can't tell, how's it mounted?, if so UTG sells mounts though the usual shooting sports suppliers.

[mgarrno4]

Yes it is a rail it is riveted on the receiver Navy Arms did that a lot, they also put them on the Paratrooper. It measures 12mm x 82mm or less than 1/2 x3 1/4 inches thanks for the help.

Since this is your first SKS, & it was full of cosmoline........did you take the bolt apart & clean all the parts? Not a difficult job (just drive out the cross pin), but essential to prevent malfunction caused by failure of the firing pin to retract.
