Title: Chinese sks ???
Post by: Boris on September 11, 2017, 04:13:47 PM
I have a 26 sks rifle all matching with a 4 in a triangle on the wood stock. What does the triangle four mean?
Thanks Bruce

/4\ is a factory that apparently made rifle stocks and perhaps other items.

I've always thought the /#\ stamps on the stocks were likely inpsection/QC related.

I've seen triangles with  different numbers 1,2,3 and 4 for certain but I may have encountered other single digits triangle stamps on chinese stocks.

Haven't seen a #4 factory reference until today.

Stock making facility, inspection stamp....  Who the heck knows.   :))

I'll go along with that  :))

I just lean toward a factory or shop mark for consistency, /#\ generally means a factory, and it doesn't seem far fetched to have separate facilities specializing in carpentry and wood products. Just opinions, not facts.
