Chinese SKS Red Wood stocks and handguards.

[Boris Badinov]

Dark reddish finish is what the Chinese used on the early Type56's, like the soviet guns. In the early 1960's they transitioned to a lighter, dull orange finish.


I would guess that that handguards in the advert aren't as red in real life as they are in the photo.



Is that your Type56 in the photo?

I only wish it was! no mine is a train wreck, I do have a beautiful Blade Bayonet Type 56 and two Russians that I bought Unfired NIB in the late 80's/early 90's for $79.00 each.

This is the one from Albaina you helped me with.
