WTK: SKS serial Number I7715

**md66948** · 07-05-2018 10:39 AM

I have a mismatched SKS. The serial number on the bolt and receiver is I7715. I just took it apart and I will take more pictures. There is a 23 stamped on the receiver and barrel. All other serial numbers are different from the receiver and bolt.

There are no Import markings on this SKS but there is CHINA stamped on theright side of the receiver.

What do I have here?

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It appears that this SKS is an early mismatched "letter series" Type 56 and was made in 1959 or 1960. I does have a faint Navy Arms Import Mark. The Rear sight is Russian icon

and I was told that was common for early Sino Chicom SKS Rifles.
Also the Bayonet is mounted upside down. I have fixed it.
