PAX you know you have a problem when a gun you didn't know you had surprises you!
Sounds like a scrubbed and fully refurbished Chinese letter gun.
No indication of being scrubbed, has "A4121" everywhere there's numbers except the stock, only 4121. PAX

Can't say I've ever forgotten about a gun in my collection. Sounds like a fun problem to have though. Lol

Chinese SKS (Military) / Strange But True...Picts Post #6
« Last post by echo1 on March 21, 2024, 01:42:45 PM »Hi Folks In The Know,
I've been digging through my remaining SKS rifles and ran across one I didn't remember. In all honesty, when I was actively buying rifles years ago, I never paid close attention to the details, mainly the PRICE and general over all condition. I was pretty green and just buying them as fast as I found them. This gun that reappeared is a little curious. Is an "A" 4 digit /26\ without Chinese T56 characters. A4121 is the only marking on the receiver other than /26\, and I can't locate an import stamp, even with the action removed or under the bayo. I don't think it's a vet, it's just too nice. It's matching numbers (no # on bolt), crown isblued crisp, lands & grooves deep, the bolt face and hammer look new, no wear at all. The stock is correct for a blade bayo, which has the staking marks aligned, but the stock looks too nice for the age, has horizontal numbers (4121), is relieved for a T86 sized base, looks to have been done later as there's a small chunk of unfinished wood where the front of the base would go. I'll get picts when I get a chance. PAX

Almost resembles a 10/22
Nice 👍
The only lever rimfire I have owned was a Henry - it was well made , Ruger will not let ya down 👍
One reason to get one was the mag compatibility. You can use 10/22 mags in a 96 but not the other way, 96 mags are flat bottomed, 10/22 are curved and I have a boat load of 10s. I've got hi-cap but I think they'd be a waste and ugly in a classic lever. I'll need to use a scope if I want to see what I'm plinkingPAX
I owned a 77/22 that used the same mags , very accurate - wish I still had it 😞
