These are the markings on my Chinese SKS. Most lists that I have looked at do not show factory 136. I couldn't get a clear enough photo so I drew them.

WOW thanks for doing all that the research for lazy guys like me! I'm still having a hard time identifying mine. It says "sks sporter 7.62x39 made in china by norinco labanu. ronkonkoma. ny. 93 23335". It has a thumbhole stock and takes AK mags, (I believe it was made to take AK mags because it looks factory finished.)
Also it is a milled reciever. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Per http://www.simonov.net/codechart.htm, your's looks to be from factory 0406, seemingly one of the more common chinamade sks rifles that made it into the US |

Wow, excellent thread. Can't believe it took me this long to run across it. I now know that I have an un-refurbished 1953 Tula. All I knew previously was that it was a '53 Russian, nothing about which plant and certainly nothing about refurb marks.

How can you tell year of manufacture on a Chinese SKS?

i'm getting ready to buy one with the 636 code in the triangle. all numbers match and it doesn't say norinco on it anywhere. what does it mean if it doesn't have the norinco stamp on it?

Hi guys, I just ended up with my first SKS. I currently has a triangular bayonet that someone has shortened and ground to a wedge point. It also has had the original wooden stock removed and replaced with a black synthetic folding stock. It has had the fixed magazine removed and replaced with a 30 round removable. I am interested in replacing the original magazine, stock, and getting the correct bayonet for it. How do I remove the stock? I have looked it over and cannot locate any screws that hold it on. I am interested in removing the stock to find any other numbers or markings that might help me identify what it is. This is the start of my research and when I get home from work today I will post what markings I can see on the gun.
Where is my best chance to pick up the parts I need? I need a fixed magazine, stock, and the proper bayonet....Thnaks....<><....:) |

Thanks, that's a great help. I got home from work and checked my SKS. The serial number (all matching) is 76XXX and the only markings I can saee on the gun are the small stamped letters "GBE H.B. CA." on the left side of the reciever. I cannot locate any definitive info on these markings. Anyone have any info on them?...Thanks again for the help guys....<><....:)

it is down for me as well. I don't know if it is gone forever or just down,
I have determined the last letters of the upper reciever markings on my SKS indicate H.B. CA. indicates Huntington Beach, California. Now can anyone help to shed some light or knowledge on what the first three letters "GBE" indicate? What company imported this SKS? And perhaps during what years?...Thanks....<><....:) |

I will look into updating it / deleting it later today when I have had time to read through the entire thread and see what is more appropriate.

It's a shame that simonov.net died on the vine. That site was a gold mine for detailed data on the SKS carbine.
