Title: Mystery SKS
Post by: Drrod on August 22, 2015, 03:14:18 AM

I bought an SKS back in the late '80's that has no factory markings of any kind.  No star, to triangle w/number.  Only serial numbers.  All but 1 number is the same but the one exception has "89" preceding the number found elsewhere.  Serial number is in the #00800's but the one that differs reads 8900800.  I know it's a CAI import and made in China.  Any idea what this gun is (year of production, etc)?

That would definitely be a new production commercial gun made in 1989. As to if its a special model or not, we would need to see pictures of the gun to determine that.
