Chinese Type 56 SKS carbine chambered in 7.62×39mm, manufactured at Factory 26 in 1969, and all matching. The carbine is in excellent mechanical condition with a mirror bore and sharp rifling. The stock has an attractive deep appearance, and while the metal finish shows honest signs of service and storage wear, the rifle remains very solid throughout.
The Type 56 is the Chinese-produced version of the Soviet SKS, chambered in 7.62×39mm and built at Chinese state arsenals. Factory 26 is among the most respected of the Chinese SKS arsenals — an early, well-made producer — and an all-matching 1969 Factory 26 example is a desirable pick for the Chinese SKS collector. With excellent mechanics, a bright mirror bore, sharp rifling, and a handsome deep-toned stock, this carbine wears its honest service and storage wear well and presents as a solid, correct, and shootable example of the type.
