Local pawn shop SKS

[TEKMIRKO]

Today I had a chance to visit one of my local pawn shops.  I have not been able to  decipher receiver marking on this SKS.  Any help would be appreciated.  Asking price is $499.

TEKMIRKO, I don't know what that factory mark is, but as soon as I get done here, I'm going to read the "406b" post in Chinese Military in depth.  As far as price, ask them what the "cash out the door" price is.  Cash at pawn shops talks .  Good luck!!

Regardless of the arsenal, from the 1 picture the machine work looks nice. If complete (bayo & accessories), $400 would be a good deal, depending on your location. 4 C notes in his face is hard for a Pawn guy to turn away.  PAX

$400.00 out the door for what echo1 describes would be fair.  Plus this is another that RM can add to his /406\b or /?5\ data base  .

Agree with PAX, $400 for an honest type 56 is not out of line these days.

Your S/N is a year 15 (1970), month 3 (March) gun.  Highest gun from year 15 I have from /?5\ arsenal is 12-1533474, so 33.4k guns built at that arsenal in 1970 at least.
