Welcome to the SKS-Files, a great place to get help and information.

you have one of the lesser arsenal builds being the [0141]. Here is our sister site where you can read up on all things SKS. This link is specific on the Chinese SKS. http://chinesesks.weebly.com/
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

Welcome!  thumb1

It's 1973 production. One of the arsenals that came on-line in the 1970s and incorporated the two digit year into the serial number.

Welcome from Kali. Does it have 2 small Chinese characters on the right side? PAX

The one I have from that arsenal has the Security Forces markings. Check for two characters on the right side of the receiver.

Good shooters came out of there, too.
