Norinco SKS

degadude
I have an opportunity to take in trade a Norinco SKS (folding stock)that the owner claims is a pre ban type. I have read the previous topics in the forum which regard there not being a ban on this particular firearm. I am not very knowledgeable in SKS's as far as what a milled receiver looks like compaired to another. Could someone please clarify that description? Would that be one that accepts AK mags? Or would it still take SKS mags?

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

    A guy I know has a Norinco SKS, and as was necessary for these versions, it had the bayo removed, and a 10 round fixed mag, so it could be imported as a sporting rifle, not C&R like my Yugo 59/66A1.
    My question is this,........I was under the impression that the bayo lugs were supposed to have been ground off of these rifles when they were imported. His still has the lug, and now he is getting ready to play the 10 parts or less game with it, and is wanting to know if he must grind off the bayonet lug to be legal. He is going to put Tapco T-6 stock, and 20 round detachable magazine, and also replace his op-rod, and gas piston, with US made compliance parts. I just hate to see him grind off the lug if he doesn't have to. Hoping Neal or someone familiar with the game of 922r can chime in on this one!

    Probably many, many thousands of Chicom SKS's were imported in the 90's before slick willie had them banned.

    From your description, the only thing that stands out is the blade bayonet, to make yours more valuable then the others.

    It would be best if you could post quality photos of the SKS. Are members perhaps could pick up on something else, to enhance the value.

    Because the owners of this site won't allow photos to be posted directly from a PC's hard drive. A photo hosting site has to be used, as explained in this link.

    Unlike Yugoslavian, Albanian, & Russian SKS's, which were used by the respective country's military, all import marked Norinco SKS's were made for export to the US. So, we would expect most of them to have original finish & matching numbers. Those made to accept AK mags would bring a premium.

    Value depends upon condition. If you click on the ADVANCED button on the GB home page, you can search COMPLETED auctions & see what similiar rifles to yours actually sold for.
