The "SKS Paratrooper - Penny Start - No Reserve Intact Folding Bayonet - Untouched Since the 90's" is actually a SKS-S. The pics are a bit fuzzy but you can see it in the various SKS-S features, and you can see the "MODEL SKS S" in the pic of the left side of the receiver, if you look closely and use your imagination a bit.

"RARE Chinese SKS 7.62x39 Honor Guard w Certificate"

Are the Chinese Honor Guard rifles all marked like this? I'm not familiar with the HG serial numbers. They may have been scrubbed and re-SN'd with this type of SN? Just curious.

Wow! A bunch of Bravo Sierra in the title garnered a lot of activity and a $150-200 bump in the price.  Kind of turns around the old adage of "Money talks, BS walks"      The disinformation continues in the description of the 1993 SKS with the oft misused "pre-ban" term.  Uh, the  1994 AWB ban expired

I believe they were made from different SKSs across the blade bayonet Type 56 era, so this is and the other one are both from the circa 1959 letter guns.  I've seen an 8 million series Honor Guard, as well. Not sure what SN is on LC's HG.

All the Chinese HG guns started life as military SKSs from the 50's and 60's.  They were retrofitted with new components where required, reblued, and given brand new furniture before getting the selected components chromed.  Like Jon says, they came in various S/N flavors and I've got photos of letter guns, 7 mil 2/6\ and 8 mil /26\ guns.  I believe 12 mil /26\ as well, but I don't have photos of one of those handy.  All the certificates I have seen are dated "Dec 10, 1993".

550465538   Norinco SKS Para-Trooper,7.62x39,16 inch   1   $550.00    SKS M   Bubba   Good   SKS M in an odd looking stock.  XXX, is this one legit or is bubba'd the correct way to look at it.

Looks like an M stock with the comb sanded down. The pistol grip is the same.
