Im sure his has one....  Im just curious at to what its made of.  Like Junstins, I wonder if it's just cast receiver material. 
      
1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

Necro thread but here's a DP I aquired a few months ago.  A Jilin marked DP with a french tickler handguard imported by ACT III Greensboro NC





Stock is not numbered and has a sling swivel on the left side.  Everything else is matching except the magazine.  Bolt, bolt carrier, rear of dustcover, trigger guard all match.
This one is very well made.  Also marked NORINCO/CHINA 7.62x39 left side of rear receiver then the importer's info.

Not really a necro thread...the research is ongoing into these. 
Very nice example you have there!   I am curious, does the handguard ferrule pin look disturbed or does it seem as if it came from the factory with the FT handguard?

Welcome to the Files BTW!   thumb1

The handguard is very difficult to remove. Looks like it rusted a bit or old cosmoline.  The stock is a replacement so the handguard probably is too but why use a ft replacement?

Very neat. Does the gas tube have an electropencilled number on it?

I would say it's likely the handguard was replaced by someone out of preference. It doesn't look like a factory set pin. The stock may have been replaced at the same time...or possibly before import.  I don't recall seeing a side sling blank replacement before...and the grain on yours is gorgeous.

It's kind of a relief that it seems like a replacement post import, adding another facet to the mystery around DPs and DBs wouldn't help. :)

I thought the stock and handguard might have been a Norinco replcement before being shipped over here.  Perhaps they were just getting rid of rifles for export to the US and had some left over DP guns without stocks?  The metal and build look really good on this DP, not like a project gun.

No, no electro-penned # on the handguard tube

You have a couple of very nice rifles pictured.

Any more sweethearts in the stable?

Hey all...first post here.  I signed up here after finding & reading through this thread while trying to research my latest purchase.  I picked this one up last week, and until then I've never seen an SKS without a factory number preceding the serial. 
I believe mine is all original (except for the blade bayo which I'm pretty sure needs to be a spike), numbers matching, and it was still slathered in cosmoline when I picked it up.    Looking at the wear on it, I don't think this one has been shot much at all, if any.  Someone did unfortunately thread the end of the barrel, and the threads are boogered up. 

I am curious to the extended mag release, and the double (ambidextrous) safety levers.  I've never seen these on an SKS, and I haven't heard of them mentioned in my limited DP/DB searching.

Pics are before cleaning.

    Welcome 7.62 from Kentucky.  I can't see the pix you posted.  Can't wait though.
    Well since this thread has been resuscitated, that's ANOTHER one I've got to look for :P.

Thanks!

The pictures are copy/pasted from imgur just like I do in the other 8+ forums I'm on.   Let me try to upload:

They came through both times, now. Musta made a wrong toin at Albuquerque wink1.  Nice rifle.  I'll agree that you might want a spike bayonet, though.
