Good condition. All matching serial numbers. See photos for details. Is there a non destructive method for recovering a ground off serial number from a receiver? SKS, SKS serial numbers, SKS prices, Russian, Chinese, Korean, German, Albanian, Romanian, Polish, 7.62x39 caliber, rifle, Gun Collections Online. Russian SKS45s from 1956, 1957, and 1958 as well as some 1954 Izhevsk produced carbines will have a suffix after the serial number on the receiver, and in the case of '54 Izhevsks on all other S/N'd components as well.
Finally getting around to getting all the cosmoline off of the group buy SKS (yeah, yeah, I know) and I started trying to figure out the numbers and markings. Now I have a headache and I'm really confused. And half blind.How many numbers are there on an SKS and where are they located?
I have one that has the same number on the magazine bottom, trigger guard, reciever, & bolt carrier, but has a different marking on the rear housing and a different number on the stock. The other one is even more random. IIRC, the group buy was for Chinese Model 56 SKS's, but these seem to be rather 'multi-national'.
I'm completely unconcerned about having a 'matching number' gun, but I am interested in where all the different parts might have come from and the age of the pieces.
There are lots of internet spots that help with deciphering numbers, but I can't find one that tells me everywhere the numbers/symbols might be located.
