New 2019 type 56 imports at Classic tracking thread

[High Noon]

  No. I rolled the dice and got lucky. I was really expecting it to be mix matched with a cracked stock but I was very impressed with it. Makes me want to get another one.

Lol.  Figured if I ordered two, I'd get one that was decent and one that was real rough.  But I'd learn from taking them apart and cleaning and then might sell the rough one.  However I got two that were good enough to keep, even though they have been used and carried around for sure.

Does anyone know if these were actually used by China for a few years or just shipped out as aid to Albania?

after seeing what everyone is getting, i am very tempted. 

I figured I'd get one while the getting is still good. I don't like the feeling I get when I visit the website and they've SOLD OUT. I hate those words .There's really no way to go wrong at those prices.

Yeah - I've already seen what appears to be these Chinese/Albanian imports on GBrkr for more $$$.  So I decided to go ahead and get them now, knowing that I could sell later on if I needed to and get my money back.  Once these remaining eligible Chinese imports are tracked down and brought in, prices will go up!

It fits very snug. The only problem I have with the stock is this:

Bummer about that lost nut, those are hard to find by themselves.  You can sometimes find a complete crossbolt replacement with the nut on ebay for ~$10. 
If you don't mind the higher price, DF has them in stock: https://www.desertfoxsales.com/SKS_RIFLE_CROSS_BOLT_p/sks-009.htm

That stock is very much like my first SinoBanian (with a replacement Alby stock with dual buttplalte holes):


I hated the dark mismatching handguard so much, I wound up refinishing it to match batter.  Much happier with the current configuration:

That looks great!

Yeah, the days of $65 unissued Chinese SKS is looong gone.

Does yours have the two hole butt plate assembly? Mine has the two holes bored in the stock but it has a single hole plate covering them. I'm finding out that the complete double hole assemblies are hard to come by as well.

That looks great!

Sure does HN, RM did a superb job on it.

I can disassemble and reassemble a sks with my eyes closed but I can't figure out how to disassemble and reassemble quotes in broad daylight   

I've got the hang of it now. Thanks RM

I contacted Classic to see if they had any extra laying around the shop. If not I'll contact DF. Thanks RM

I don't see too many import markings like this. The 10,000 range is the highest I've seen or heard about so far.

Yessir, it definitely is an odd bird!  In fact, I wanted to know the ins-and-outs of this one so much that I started researching these things and the rest is history.  One could say this gun is responsible for me being here @ SKS-Files.



Ghost, to quote you need an opening quote block: [ quote] and a closing quote block [/quote ]

The PW arms import stamps are the newest out there for the most recent batch of SinoBanians.  These guns have been spike bayo /26\ guns with S/Ns from 10 mil to 13 mil.  I need to update the Recent CAI, IO, & TGI Chinese Type 56 Imports Guide to include them and the IARMS imports that came in about 6 months ago.

Is the second hole for the Cuban cigar to celebrate a successful mission?

The second butt hole?
For those long and lonely nights....

Sorry. I just sorta had to.

I have a two hole plate, and what I think is half of a trap door....picked it up because I considered using it on a Russian laminate, which seemed to be capable of using it....and never got past the looking for trap door point.  Are the trap doors the same as on everything else or are they different altogether?  Luckily my Classic came 100% intact with original parts....not that it shouldn't have had a few things replaced.

[running-man]

I'm 80% sure they are different doors on a true Albanian model 561 stock, but a standard trapdoor can be (and often is) used in a pinch on these SinoBanians.

Hello, this is my first time posting so sorry if I do something wrong.

I got my sks from classic a few days ago. I paid the extra 25$ for hand select. I filled out the survey and from what I understand it's a late model. All numbers match. Stock is in ok shape, few gouges and dings here and there. Metal components are in good shape. Buttery smooth and the bluing is ok. Bore looks new. Serial number is 122893xx.

If you need anymore info just ask.
