Item Relisted! Item Gone: FS Albanian Issue SKS - Numbers Matching!

[Neener Neener]

Up for sale is a beautiful Albanian issue SKS with matching numbers I have had in my collection for about 7 years. Finding one of these with numbers matching, especially in this condition, is relatively rare. It's definitely worth the drive to get one like this! Not interested in trades on this one, please.

a lot of those early chinese sks rifles were shipped into albania were they issued and used this type but never mfg"ed this 56 type.

Albanian sks has a longer stock and handguard covering the entire gas tube.
Albanian has an AKM style charging handle.

Looks Romanian but I'm no expert

all romanian sks receivers have the date of mfg. stamped on the serial number side above the stock line. albania did make some type 56 sks stocks. those will have a double hole in the metal buttplate for 2 cleaning kits.

Look at that receiver stamp a little better and thinking it may be a scrubbed chicom.
Almost looks like a partial triangle, like the right side
