Was the SKS made after 93?

The Chinese T63 And Its Role In Jianshe T56 Production in Chinese SKS (Military) - Page 1 of 2

The sks was REISSUED after the 1978 epic fail of the T63. The sks remained in use with the t56 AK until the T81 could replace them. Likely mid 80s they were completely replaced.

You would need to record those years found in CA...  Any post 94?

I've seen guns with serials like 00 123456  and 01 123456 posted a few times. I'll try to post the links as I come across them again.

Cool...  This tells me they were/are still reworking guns for commercial sale.  All of the guns with serial numbers like this show evidence of scrubbing/rework etc.

There's a photo of a 01 Canada gun in post 2. I've heard of 00 & 99 Canadian guns too and of course there are 29 million guns (1984) all over the place.

There is only ONE board on the planet with a few individuals that think norinco only exported rifles.  There is a crapton of other guns imported from china in the same timeframe with collectors/followers and none of them have any doubt as to who made said weapons.  How this fabrication of misinformation became so prolific and concentrated at one board location is anyones guess.

So norinco did "produce" some guns? Or am I just reading that wrong?

[running-man]

Norinco produced and continues to produce many guns.  The ignorant sharks out there will be adamant that this is not true, or if they concede Norinco built firearms, will deny Norinco built SKSs. It's wrong, they know it, they simply refuse to conceded the point.

Now if they wanted to argue: Were they called 'Norinco' in 1956?  No, they weren't but the same factory system that did produce the guns then is now currently under control of Norinco along with other state run corps like shanxi, poly technologies, and six corp.  I found a source a while back that laid out the progression, it was an interesting read. I'll have to go back and find it.

Norinco was and is a production company. It stands for China NOrth INdustries COrp. It is a state operated company that produces many products, most of them defense and weapons.

In 1980, Norinco was born, and accumulated the existing state arsenals already producing the SKS. Many of these same arsenals already were making the SKS before the formation of Norinco. Any SKS produced after 1980 IS made by Norinco. And most guns made before 1980 were made by factories that became Norinco.

There are people on the "other board" who try extremely hard to brainwash people into believing the wrong information they themselves believe. Most of what you read over there, are old school theories that have been proven different since.

There is no gray area on this subject. Norinco themselves, list the Type 56 as one of their produced items on their web page. I think LC has the link saved to it.

This is what we are up against.

Cool, that's the way I had understood the whole Norinco thing. kinda like the guys who call every Chinese SKS a Norinco, there are others who say none are.

If they are all Norincos, then what do they call a..... PolyTech, or Poly Technologies (if one wants to be all technical like).. SKS?
