As I don't know a great deal about the SKS I need to have stuff like this explained to me, what is it? I can see by the stock style that it's probably Clinton era. Nice looking even if I don't know much about it

is that a post recession stock? what is technical discription nomenclature of that? i want to google as i have never seen an issued main battle rifle that.

It is a commercial model made for US Distributors with AK mag capability. Most likely an M Series. Highly collectable for many SKS owners.
Pretty high priced now a days. But, no, it never was a battle rifle. A lot of different US Distributors wanted Chinese SKS that they could sell for Premium prices, so they had the Chinese assemble these to Distributor Specs. As far as for shooting, I have heard only very good about them.

Awesome rifle!

Nice!

I remember seeing some of these at the gun shows quite some years back. Nice gun.

great find on one that takes the ak mag's

its an sks sporter the date stamps 93 i got this nib never fired shoots like a dream not to bad for my first sks

and the price was abut double what a standard sks goes for around where i live

This one looks nice, mine however was converted into a "para" rifle with AK mag out of an original military surplus SKS by the Chinese. I call it the bang/shit rifle, one bang and the mag falls out right onto your foot prompting the screaming of shit.

yea no such problem with this baby but im dieing laughing reading your post

Certainly called the SKS-M. They came with either a Monte Carlo or three versions of the Thumbhole stock, as shown. The original mags were 5-round capacity only, but work very well with the 30 round Chinese AK mags. For some reason, most European mags "fall out". We'll have to all pitch in to buy a Chinese mag for JYD, so he doesn't keep traumatizing the range master with colorful language.

The Hungarian AK mags also seem to have decent success in the SKS-M. I shortened two of them to 20 round capacity to make the gun a bit more ergonomic from the bench. Really killer to fire off several mags-full in succession. Glad that X39 is still relatively cheap!

mines an sks sporter not an m it says on the barel sporter and im using the european mags no problem with my rifle
