S/N is right in the range for a Clayco M8, likely what it was once on:Sad to see, not many M8s out there, they are my favorite commercial variant. I picked one up back in ~2014 for $350+ shipping on Gunbroker, new in the box, never even been disassembled (I put a tiny scratch on it when I popped the receiver cover latch ).
Wow, thanks for the pictures of your SKS, I have never seen or heard of that model, can you post more pictures of this beauty?

It was bought (and I think subsequently sold) by a good member here: padams8888. Pat's and mine are the only two I've ever seen with their original boxes. Here's my M8:The bayo lug has been heavily modified with a ball detent to keep the cleaning rod in place. Note that the stock ferrule is custom to the gun as well since there is no "U" notched cutout in it like would have been on an original pinned barrel type 56. These were imported in 1984. As far as I've been able to ascertain, they are the first SKSs imported en masse into the US for commercial sales.
