some thing to look for when collecting Chinese SKS carbines. Milled , stamped, & cast. In this post I will show the milled type and the stamped type photos in next post the cast receiver photos.

Very intreresting. Do the pinned barrels have more trouble then do the milled? And do the pins ever break? :D

No they do not really matter how the barrel is installed and held . Ak rifles use pins
The Chinese did allot of work with the SKS and much proved better than the original

Great comparison photos, howie.

I have also noticed that the pinned barrel variation has excellent performance. I use an SKS for hunting in the brush, and it is a pinned barreled gun.
