Chinese Type 56 SKS carbine chambered in 7.62×39mm, an all-matching example fitted with a rare Chinese star-marked 20-round internal magazine and marked CGA (Chinese Government Arsenal). The rifle is in excellent mechanical condition, with all serialized parts matching, a mirror bore with sharp rifling, and its intact folding spike bayonet. It is complete with the cleaning kit stowed in the buttstock trap.
The Type 56 is the Chinese-produced version of the Soviet SKS, chambered in 7.62×39mm and built in large numbers at Chinese state arsenals. This example stands out for its uncommon factory 20-round fixed internal magazine bearing the Chinese star marking — a scarce variation on the standard 10-round SKS magazine that is of particular interest to Chinese SKS collectors. All-matching with excellent mechanics, a bright mirror bore, an intact spike bayonet, and CGA arsenal markings, and complete with its buttstock cleaning kit, this Type 56 is a desirable collector-grade example as well as a strong shooter.
