Looks like a candidate Israeli Capture Type 56. Laminate handguard, dark stock, correct serial number range, (can’t see all of it but it looks like the) correct CAI import mark style. That heel repair looks like an Arsenal job.IC Sticky:https://sks-files.com/index.php?topic=1886.0
All the features are captured in the thread. Arabic rack numbers on the stock would be nice. Is it sandy under the: buttplate, stock, magazine, etc.?

Is it sandy under the: buttplate, stock, magazine, etc.?I haven’t disassembled it to look for sand. It does have a gritty, dark finish/refinish that is old. I’ll get some more pics as soon as s possible and post up.Do these bring a premium over other Chinese SKS models by chance?

For one that can only be a "possible IC" I personally wouldn't pay much extra, if any. For one with any combination or all of the following features, an Arabic rack number, laminate stock, blued bolt carrier, I'd certainly pay more than an average matching Type 56. Not a lot of people are aware of them or would pay them much attention.
Are you sure that handguard is laminated and it doesn't just have a prominent linear grain?

I thought it was a laminate handguard but could be mistaken. I can’t even tell if the stock is laminate or not. Quote from: Rbenzo on October 04, 2019, 10:55:42 AM
The stock isn’t laminate, just trying to figure out the handguard.
