I really want a Norinco SKS but have no idea if I'm getting hoodwinked or a deal. I'm currently winning an auction for $415 not including fees and am planning on putting a 30rd magazine on it with an FRT. am I making a mistake that I'll regret?

Got a sks looks beautiful in my opinion. My rear sight is a little bit crooked. Is this an easy fix or should I just leave it how it is.

Armslist or Gunbroker?

0 Upvotes

I have two Tula SKSs built in 1954 I want to sell. Both have all matching serial numbers. One is stock but the other has a side saddle scope mount with cheap Norinco scope and also has a heat shield.

Which site is better concerning:

Ease of putting up the item for sale

Size of the audience reached

Cost of posting and raising the profile of your item.

Reputation for dispute resolution, honesty of the people using the site and the site staff spotting and shutting down scams.

What wears out?

3 Upvotes

I just got a 1971 Chinese sks seemly only fired at the factory. According to the seller who bought it from a old dude who got it in the 90s. I have a magazine coming for it as it had none Chinese as well. All parts matching.

It was Gunked in cosmoline I got mostly out of the metal by boiling and rubbing alcohol then ballistol to protect. Sweated the wood out a little but I figure I'll let it sweat at the range.

My question is tho what parts generally need to be replaced. Those of you who have put thousands of rounds down range what have you had to put in I'm guessing certain springs.

I’ll probably not keep it fully wrapped. I just wrapped because I needed to raise the cheek piece and wanted to see what it would look like.

I’ll be cutting the barrel to 16.5 and recrowning.

I was having a real time snapping the trigger housing back into place when I forgot to switch the safety lever to click the detent. So I was pushing really hard with the rifle upside down on a countertop, putting pressure on the sights. Left is the rifle I was reassembling, right is my second Yugo.

Factory 0223 date code

1 Upvotes

Looking at picking up a factory 0223 SKS, but in order to pick it up under my C&R license, I need to be able to figure out the date of manufacture. From a brief google search I found that rifles from this factory do not follow the same date code system as ones from factory /26\. I read that on the bottom of the receiver under where the trigger group goes you might be able to find a 4 digit DOM code, but I can’t field strip it at the shop to find out.
Any insight from the Norinco SKS gurus would be helpful.

FRT not resetting.

I have a Chinese sks with a FRT. everything works as it should, but after every fire I still have to release the trigger a little because the FRT didn’t reset it all the way or something. What exactly is the problem and how do I fix this?

Hello all. I'm looking to revert my ATI bubba back to it's original form on my wood stock and doing a modern/old build for sporting. I'm looking to hunt for something like a PU scope or PSO-1, how hard is installing and finding a side rail? (PS; im Canadian. So any Canadian stores and references would be lovely)

Been trying to find the origin or manufacturer of this dovetail mount on my Norinco. It's not a cowboy companion mount, but it looks kinda similar. Any ideas?
