I have a Chinese military version that Norinko altered to take AK mags so it's a commercial SKS now. They did a lousy job and it's a piece of crap, I wouldn't say I collect them :)

I have a friend at work that has the Chinese/AK mag version and he loves it. I don't recall the model # but all attempts to talk him out of it have been futile.

I think the problem with mine is that it must have had a specially fitted magazine, I got it without the mag, and my regular Ak mags drop out after one or two fired rounds.
