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.

I was going to ask...so you're just going straight across with this wood? Then a rust blue, should look great after.

Hi Jim, Yeah.. I'm going to clean up the wood, leave the graffiti and rust blue rather then parkerize. I'll have to do a small repair on the handguard it missing part on the right side. I thought about not rebluing it but, I don't feel right leaving it in the white.

Personally I might just clean it up and do the wood and leave it. But I don't tend to hold onto some of this stuff that long after...so the outlay of cash would be wasted. Let it sit a bit and it will tell you what to do...

Kid's make a great excuse to buy firearms.

I was looking for information on Chinese SKS rifles and while doing that I found pictures of SKS rifles where the stocks were red. I first I just thought that the owner had stained the rifle stocks and handguards red. Then I found red handguards at both SARCO and Liberty Tree.
