Russian SKS?
« on: April 07, 2015, 03:14:40 PM »
Just picked up a Russian SKS. All numbers match except bbl. (CAI Saint Alban Vt. Russian SKS 7.62x39 on the bbl.).  (Bright red stock stained/white wood, with no Bayo cut in it and no marks at all). (Receiver cover is very nicely blued with no marks at all except a capital R on the inside rear) was this refurbed?
Thanks for any help. Bruce

Most likely refurb, but you should know without pics this thread is going nowhere ;) but the gun sounds interesting to say the least...

The barrel?     The barrel isn't a #ed matching part.  Your likely seeing the batch/lot # on the lug.  No tellin if its been refurbed without good pics of the whole rifle.

Interesting you say the stock is blank and has no bayo groove.  Even the 49's had a bayo groove in the stock.  Maybe this stock is off a commercial Chinese like a KS-30 or a Clayco?  As other's have said, photos would definitely help.

Got em:

That stock screams Chinese to me as does the handguard.  Does the receiver cover have the correct KA S/N number on it?  It's a later Russian, maybe a '54 or '55 I'd guess from the features.  CAI import and the extra KA in the receiver S/N are 100% consistent.  It's interesting how far the rear of the receiver sticks out past the cutout of the stock in the last photo.  Looks like you got a really nice one!

W/o the bayo groove?  I didn't realize they had those!  think1

The brass reinforcing pin is located for a blade cut.  Man, that's one interesting stock.

I missed that part....   Hmmm.   It sure looks like one to me. The overall square mid section and the rear receiver overhang or spitting images of the pot belly Albanian replacements.

Looks heavily sanded and refinished also, so all bets are off.

Thats just it...  There are TWO versions of the standard length alby replacement stocks.

1: Imported long ago in large amounts and also seen on some recent imported Banian guns.... what sealed the identity. These are the same in almost every way to a blade cut chinese stock having normal placement of cross pins, a potbelly fore end at the bayo area, and 1 hole butts. Tell/tell sign of them being alby made is they are Beech wood and have dif contours including a more square shape just forward of the wrist, dif angle of the puttplate, and often have that rear receiver overhang.

2: Seen in recent Banian batch rifles in higher quantities then other version. These started life destined to be long Alby stocks. They have two hole butts, and a non pottbelly fore end. At some point they received a cut down to standard length and were bayo cut for a blade.
