Please post some pictures (worth a thousand words as they say  ) in a new thread in the "SKS Chinese (Military)" sub-forum. We'd be happy to help but pictures will increase the likelihood that our information is accurate for your rifle.

might be awhile for that ,,K 019 left of the infamous so called long yan arsenal code..nothing else except CAI's blurry mess on the rifle barrel K is stamped in bolt carrier too along with digits. recently bought a russian and the dealer told me those smaller factories may produce for certain objectives so i figure the s/n maybe low for some set amount of rifles or something as all being state owned could just ramp up and down at will..or made for cambodia or vietnam just never made it.,interesting it has a spot welded trigger guard and a short lug threaded barrel..suppose i worded my last statement wrong i have owned these rifles in general a long time but recently got this one..screwed spike ,short lug and spot weld with three digits blonde furniture  is like  a tilt a whirl to my brain..threw it together for import i guess
