Chinese Sino Soviet

[Direct Connection]

Thought id post up my Chinese Sino Soviet SkS tonight. As far as I know these were built in the transition when the chinese were using remaining Russian parts to get started with their production. The experts here know allot more about the history of the production and transition of these fellas than I do but nonetheless here are some pics of my favorite sino in the collection..

That stock is amazing. Looks almost like arctic birch from some angles.

Beautiful !!!   .  That's a Jewel.  I don't know if I'd shoot it or just look at it

Wow, what a nice find! Was it in that pristine condition when you acquired it, or did you have to clean it up?

Thats just how I got it Wayne. Any SkS that has bingo letters in it and sounds like a call out, Im on it 

I 4426 lol

Good looking specimen. I've always been confused on the Sinos.

So a letter or lack of one, and no /26\ stamp make it a Sino? I have several so marked but CAI import stamped.
One of my latest SARCO barreled actions was numbered 33XX but has Janshe arsenal. PAX

They're all Sinos.

The the Sino-Soviet designation seems to be less of an agreed upon term. But I think the Soviets were pretty much out of the production picture by 1959 or 1960.

Thanks for all the comments and nice words . Ive owned it for about 5 years now and keep it in a insulated crate along with my top ten choice sks's   I believe its a 1956. But the pro's here know alot more about these things then Ive ever spent time to research. The only little downfall on this one is that these particular sinos have a small star on the right side of the lower stock as you can view on the link ive posted and this gun has had it scrubbed during a possible  re arsenal. I can see by eye a light indication but not very good. The Russian featured stock appears to be birch as many were during that run "see link" Pretty rare, Pretty cool, Pretty sure I won't be shooting it anytime soon
