Chinese SKS carbine 7.62×39mm (L2025-14028)

Serial Number 12238970. Made in 1967 at State Arsenal 296 in Jianshe (aka "Triangle 26"), so this is NOT a commercial Chinese SKS - it is an original People's Liberation Army surplus Type 56 military carbine that was laundered through Norinco & imported into the USA as a commercial sporting rifle. The 20.5-inch thread-mounted short collar barrel has a bright chrome bore with strong visible rifling. Features a late production milled receiver, a late milled rear sight base, a late production 2-piece gas cylinder & a stamped trigger group. CAI import marked on the left side of the barrel. Comes with a 12-inch folding cruciform bayonet, a black composite side-folding pistol grip stock with matching handguard made by Advanced Technology, Inc. & an aftermarket extended 30-round detachable box magazine.
