Just wanted to say hello. New to the forum and to the SKS. After much research, between AK, AR and SKS, bought my first SKS last week at an antique gun shop (actually, I traded a M&P 9c for it). Disassembled it, cleaned it, lubed it up and took it to the range. Now I know what all the fuss is about. Great rifle IMHO, very sweet shooter. It's a Chinese type 56, SN K8193...not sure exactly what that means. I'm hoping maybe some of y'all can help me out on it. Thank you in advance for any help and/or advice.
