Soviet SKS-45 carbine 7.62×39mm (L2025-14408)

Serial number RH221131. Made by the state-owned Tula Arms Plant in 1954 with a 20-inch barrel that has a bright bore with strong visible rifling. Chambered for the 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge. This numbers-matching Soviet military surplus SKS-45 was ultimately arsenal refurbished, so it has an even black enamel paint over phosphate finish on the metallic parts as well as handsome stained & shellac-coated arctic birch wood furniture that shows only minor handling wear. Comes with a 9-inch folding blade bayonet, a 17-inch threaded cleaning rod, a cleaning kit with oiler, instruction/safety manual, a clip pouch, a 10-round stripper clip, a Russian military surplus webbed sling & the original cardboard shipping box.
