Title: 9mil Israeli capture ?
Post by: Raspootyn on June 20, 2020, 09:33:24 AM

Hi Guys,
Someone brought in this SKS to my local gunshop claiming it's an middle eastern/Israeli capture. It's 9mil serial, but it's just a bit early for what I'm reading in the sticky post. Seems like a regular '90s import SKS that had it's bayo removed....

I’m not seeing anything indicated it is an Israeli capture but I’m far from an expert. Nice looking rifle though.

The import stamp is not associated with the Middle Eastern imports.

Correct importer (Century Arms) but incorrect stamp and date.

The ME imports were from the mid1980s, and the op gun is dated 1990

Here's some really good info and insight on the ME/IC carbines:

Like BB said, that's a 1990 commercial export rifle, not a 9 million /26\. Didn't go anywhere near the middle east on its trans-Pacific journey on the container ship :))

It has a pinned bayonet. You don't see that often, and from all I have gathered...never on an Israeli capture. Unless some Israeli guy bought one at a gun show. I consider all of my SKS purchases 'captures'. rofl

Neat gun...I don't have one with a pinned bayonet, so that is just an opinion based on my lack of one. Otherwise, it's just a clean, practically new SKS.

Guy came into the shop and said it's a $3k SKS. Some rare capture and I don't see it. It's minty, but not rare. Thanks for verifying.
