Picked up a new Sks today. Labeled on receiver
Norinco SKS 93 7.62x39 China
B-West Tucson Ariz. 93 130XX
Matching numbers with Tapco stock T6. Takes AK mags. Has neutered Bayo.
Would this be an SKS "M" ?
Nice pick up thumb1 Let's see some pics :)

Nope, it's a "93" SKS just like it says on the receiver.
Sounds like it is a 93! Originally imported with a thumbhole stock.
Definitely a 93, B-West was the only importer that XXX has noted on these:

You might get with XXX and get him your gun's information & some photos too. It appears that your S/N may be the lowest on record. thumb1
Will get some pics to xxx tomorrow.
Thanks Bruce
Pics sent to xxx today. Would like to get rid of the tapco stock and find a wooden one. Any one wish to part with one?

I've got some wooden stocks. Not sure if I have matching front grips though. I'll trade with you. I even have a black thumb hole stock as JG stated was original to these.

93's had a thumbhole stock that resembles a traditional stock at the foregrip (unlike the blocky front on the 63 and sporter) and does not have the black enhanced grip at the pistol grip like the sporter. They are quite sharp! See: http://chinesesks.weebly.com/93.html

Of all the AK mag conversion thumbhole stocks, I think the 93 has the best in ergonomic design. If I had to choose one to keep from the Sporter, the 63, the NR, and the 63, it would be the 63 that I would keep.

That's the "painted black" stock I have. The stocks are customer take offs. I'm still looking for the other 2 wooden ones. One is about that color and the other is darker. I think I still have both. Which one do you prefer, IF, I find both? I think they are in my shop.
Marcus
I would prefer the light color.
Thanks Bruce
Please send pics of thumbhole stock. Wood thumbhole?
