This Chinese Type 56 SKS is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62×39mm and manufactured in China. It features a chrome-lined barrel, a fixed 10-round box magazine, a folding spiker bayonet, and a traditional wood stock. As a military-pattern SKS rifle, it is known for its rugged design, reliability, and historical significance. This example has non-matching serial numbers, indicating that parts have likely been replaced or mixed during its service life. Rated in Fair to Good surplus condition under NRA standards, the rifle is expected to show noticeable wear, finish loss, handling marks, and other signs of prior use. Prospective buyers should note that the rifle is missing the stock cross-bolt nut and has light damage to the front sight hood, both of which may require attention. Despite these issues, it remains a functional and historically interesting surplus Type 56 SKS with the desirable chrome-lined barrel and original fixed-magazine configuration.
