Well...it is a very nice looking specimen, thanks for sharing it XXXSKS!

Just saw this...

This is like mine.  Same mag release, same import mark which likely means it was intended for the US but didn't make it in before the ban, or made it there and migrated north.

Same exact features in every respect as the pictures in the OP.

Kewl... Thanks for the info fenceline.  Hopefully the commercial gurus will add it to the list!

I wonder if that is what this is....the mag release intrigued me among other things....unfortunately, you probably have to be a member of her site to see the rest of the gun....and other stuff. :)

Can you post an overall pic and a closeup of the serial number. You can black out the last number.

Do you know the history of this rifle. Thanks.

I don't see a duckbill....nor a relief in the aftermarket stock for it. Which was what got me wondering. It looks like an AK mag with a standard release....I have five USA duckbill mags. :)

The stock looks like a Ram-Line....but mine has a lot more taken out for the duckbill....it's not much of a pic to work with. I don't want to pay for correspondence to her....as she probably was just using it as a prop anyway.

I was gonna say that too, lol.  But in Justin's defense, I do agree that I can't see the forward cutout in that stock. But that's definitely a stamped duckbill and a standard mag release???

Also, why do you say the bayo is not removable Joe? It looks like it has a standard bayo screw in the picture.

So another one of these has popped up on the CGN forum. Owner is looking for price opinions. Exact same gun as in the first post.  He says he has a couple still in the bag.  5 digit serial number looks like 37812 or 17812. Hard to tell in the photos.

I asked him where he got them, and he said they came from Lever Arms around 1997 or so. These may have been some of the ones made after the US import ban.

Do you have an AK mag for a comparison to the USA Brand SKS duckbill mag?

Did some google searching.  There is a company in California that has ties to China called "X-Z Labs".  They have a National Security division and even have pictures of Chinese police on a photo real that auto plays on their website.  Could be a link to this variant of the SKS-D.  The website speak of engineering assets in China.

Looks like they are more into manufacturing radiation detecting equipment now.

Not 100% sure this is the right XZ, but figured it was worth mentioning.

Definitely worth looking into. Thank you.

I have no AK or variants to compare...sure it probably is a USA mag, the absence of the duckbill in a Ram Line no less...and the normal release intrigued me. Did Ram-Line make a stock for D/M SKSs? The stock certainly looks like mine, but my duckbill recess is at least two or three inches further than what I am seeing.
