Cool... Lets see that certificate.     :))

Pony express is slow.  It will take 1 to 2 weeks I'm sure.

In this digital age I don't know why they don't just email a scan AND send their fancy water marked paper.

Dismount my be misinterpreted.  Disbandment?  Shut down?  Demilitarization into civilian production of other things?

the word in the original article means 'suspended'

  Thanks pcke2000! I figured it was a translation shortcoming. This may not be known yet, but what are they talking about with all the "After the suspended/suspension" comments? Was there a particular year that these arsenals were "suspended" or shut down or combined with another arsenal? Or was it more of a natural progression of obsolete plants/arsenals that were not needed and were simply shut down or combined/merged with another arsenal?

My Certificate of Authenticity from Keng's Firearms Specialty Inc has just arrived regarding my 016/416 Arsenal stamped, PS stamped Type 56 SKS.

It says...

"This certificate acknowledges that the Poly Technologies, Inc. SKS with Serial Number 180383## was manufactured by State Arsenal 416 in Jing-AN, China.  It was imported by Keng's Firearms Specialty, Inc. on October 13, 1987 and was sold on December 29, 1987."

So there it is.

And here is the close up of the Arsenal stamp...

Very nice FL! 

Can you get a photo (or simply look at the poly stamps in http://sks-files.com/index.php?topic=2111.0 and let me know which one it is)?  Would be nice to narrow the type of stamp to the import date.  thumb1

Nice!  Anything else on the rest of the whole gun?  No 'China' or 7.62 anywhere?!

Nope.  Nothing except the Public Security markings on the right side.   :P

It is one of my favorite Chinese SKS, just for the quality of the wood stock.  The gun is all matching, including the stock.

Ya, but this SKS came out of the U.S. at some point.  Unless you are getting at something else.

Imported by KFS, sold by KFS, and then likely brought across the border before the ITAR stupidity spooled up, and before our firearm laws really took a dump in the early 90s.

It's a very nice gun.   thumb1

I knew it was a US import and then exported to Canada, but I'm still a bit perplexed that there's not more information on that stamp though.  Now that I know this stamp was done in '87 I'll have to look up what the firearms import requirements were back then and see what gives.

Personally I'm quite glad I forked over the money for the certificate.  It is a nice addition to the gun. 

But that it is revealing some cool leads is even better.  Nothing earth shattering, but still steps forward.  Really happy about that.   dance2
