Bought my second SKS today. A chinese that has a marking that I can't figure out. Does anyone know what this signifies?

It says it was imported by KFS Atlanta GA
Security Forces markings. Nice score!
This tells more about them

Heck yes nice score!
That is like having Christy Brinkley as a second date.
Nice score... Keeper for sure. Dont mess it up somehow. :))
It's already messed up a little. All numbers match except the original magazine is not with it. It came with two detachable mags instead. I'll put up some more pics later and ask for some input about an idea I'm considering. Now I've got to go tell the wife I ibought another gun :)
I'd try to find a scrubbed 10 round mag and call it good.
Nice score Indy! Is it a /416\ or one of the rectangle arsenal guns? thumb1
Nice thumb1. Mine has an unnumbered stock and mag also.. Oh well, I can't see it while aiming chuckles1
Bad Influence..naw, not me, I'm "The Enabler" musta been one of them other fellas :)
Nice! thumb1 More pictures por favor :)
very nice! Next time if you are lucky, you may find a one issued to Chinese Railway Police.
my question is, are these 'public security' Type 56's actually made for the Chinese public security forces, or the two extra Chinese characters are just for sales promotion?

From what I understand, they were not advertised as such when sold.

I assume you mean one that doesn't have a serial number?
My idea was to swap it out for now with the other SKS. It is a Romy mish-mash and the bolt carrier doesn't have the notches for stripper clips, so I would use the detachable mags with it, and at least have a normal style mag on this one. And keep my eye out for a more correct mag.

Yes, it'd be nice to have a blank one but any 10 rounder would be good. It looks really nice in the pics. I don't think I've seen a Romy bolt carrier without stripper guides. Have you posted it in the Romy section?
Well, the Romy is a mish-mash of different serial numbers like DE..., RA..., but the bolt carrier w/o the notches I don't believe is Romanian. The SN on it is 007!

Carrier is from a commercial variant... A commercial guru would have to tell you which one.
That 007 bolt carrier is so slick!
Dun da dun dun dun Dun da da dun dun dun.

No idea what it is... it does look like an M or Sporter part, but the front edge is machined crooked, and why only three serial letters....
Last three... I dunno, but thats a commercial chink carrier.
