Notable features and condition notes

This NORINCO SKS includes a foldable bayonet attached at the muzzle and comes equipped with a leather sling for carry or stabilization. The receiver and bolt carry matching serial numbers, which is an important detail for collectors and buyers verifying parts integrity. Be aware that the trigger guard does not have a matching serial number, and the wooden stock shows a few blemishes consistent with prior use.

Cosmetic and mechanical condition

There is some very light surface rust beginning on the top of the receiver. For responsible ownership, surface rust should be addressed with proper cleaning and protective lubricant to prevent progression. The wood blemishes are cosmetic and do not inherently affect function, but they are worth noting if restoration or refinishing is in your plans. This example ships without a detachable magazine, so feeding will rely on the fixed internal magazine characteristic of many SKS rifles.

Caliber: 7.62x39mm — real-world applications
