SKS bayonet blued

[Vity]

Hi, I got s SKS with blued bayonet. Does anybody knows if this was done by arsenal Or somebody made it just look "cool"? Thank you in advance.

There were some that were blued (Either it was originally or during refurb) but damn if I can tell you why or which ones.

Added: A quick check shows black finished bayonets can be found on the Russian made SKS's, made during the 1949 -1956 time frame.

I think you may have a Russian SKS. The sling looks right too. What is the info on it ?

[Vity]

Yes, this is russian. I tried to capture all useful information. Also, looks like it was refurbished.

Definitely arsenal, I have had a couple that way myself. Nice SKS, enjoy it.

I think it's a refurbished letter series rifle. The stock is not original to the rifle, and neither is the bayonet.

A nice Soviet-era SKS. Pretty much all Soviet weapons were refurbished during the Cold War, Make work projects were common and all the rage back then in the USSR.

In communist countries you are guaranteed a job even if they have to invent one, you don't get a say in that of course. My own 1950 Tula has a blued blade and is a Soviet Cold War era refurb.
