/416\ M?

(1/1)

Stoned_Oli:
Hi guys! Long time no see... :)

I just saw an odd duck that made me curious... a fella over at the AK Files has an M for sale that has both the SKS-M marking and a /416\ arsenal mark.
I know I've never seen that before, how rare is it?

Boris Badinov:
Some SKS M from Birklee imports had the /416\ stamp still intact.
See here: http://chinesesks.weebly.com/m.html

I wonder if the arsenal stamp was left intact when it was so far to the forward end of the receiver.

running-man:
They are odd ducks for certain.  You typically hardly ever see Chinese type 56s with dual markings like that. 

Seems like from Hi/Low S/N's I have in my files, there was a fair run of at least 14000 (that is assuming that rifles in the middle of these two below were also all /416\ marked)
