SKS EXPERTS - WHAT DO I HAVE?

[Bryan2525]

What do I have? Pre 1990? Pre Norinco?
Very good overall condition.
Side mount and scope added at a later date?
5 digit serial number – all numbers match.
Is it worth putting back to original state? (@ $ 75.00 – $ 150. 00)

SKS/7.62 X 39MM MADE IN CHINA BY CGA
IMPORTED BY GLNIC L.A. CA. C3
I COULD NOT FIND ANY SYMBOLS STAMPED ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE RIFLE.

GLNIC: Was a company incorporated in Los Angeles, California in May of 1986. They were reportedly an import company owned exclusively by the PLA. Guangdon Lingnan Ind. Corp GLNIC LA CA is "GLNIC Corporation of America", a company based in California, but owned by the People's Liberation Army of China. GLNIC may stand for "Guangdon Lingnan Ind. Corp." or "Guangdon Lingnan Import Company". The letters "CGA" may be stamped on the trunnion ahead of the serial number on early-import GLNIC AK47S rifles, and it appears that CGA was the exporter for pre-1989 GLNIC-imported AK47S and SKS rifles (later rifles were exported by Norinco).

That scope mount is a HARD piece to get, it's specific for the SKS. The Mosin and AK ones are easy to find. If I could have found that mount (Not the base) I would have kept my sks.

I'll find a link when I get home and see if it has the info you seek.

Yea don't "return to original shape" that's how this one came

This is the website I used but I'm not having any luck finding anything out for you.

I'm assuming yours is not Arsenal 26 marked?

Post a closer picture of where the barrel goes into the trunnion. Threaded or pinned?

The hand guard is wood painted black. That’s why I thought it was not original

Thanks

A little more research: Using Yooper John
Rear sight has a #3 marked on it.
Could be a Chinese Commercial model or a Chinese Public Service Issue (police)
Has a sheet metal receiver.
Pin type bayonet.
Could be a Type 56

A note I read indicted there may be no markings on the rifle as the Chinese did not want to get busted for importing into a unauthorized country (deniability).
