Norinco SKS

just-shoot

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

I know this is a no-brainer question, Is norinco just another name for chinese manufactured or is there something special about norincos? Thanks a whole lot.

I have a norinco sks with a 5 digit serial number on all the parts. It was imported through Pomona, CA, but I can find no other marks. It has the blade bayonet. Is it anything special and what's it worth?

Are there any after market products that will convert a regular Norinco SKS into one that takes AK47 magazines?

Is this even possible to do?

Thanks,

I would like to thank you all again for helping me identify some rifles I inherited. One was a all numbers matching norinco SKS that I purchased a bayonet, cleaning rod &kit. Replaced the sporited (scope mount)carrier cover wit an original and replaced the firing pin with a murray to avoid any slam fires. I cleaned the gun very well and purchased Herter ammo from cabella. I fired it for the first time today from my deck to a target I set up at 50 yrds. I loaded 10 rounds.

The very first round miss fired. It ejected fine and loaded the next round which fired along with the remainder accept for a total of three. At this point I wasn't sure what to do next . I waited a while and loaded the three rounds that did not fire. Two of them did and one did not . That round appears to be a dud.

I looked at the primers on the three and they didd show very small indentatation but than I am not sure what the primer should look like on a spent cartrige as I cannot find the spent cartriges on my deck or in the grass below. How far do these eject ? Is herters know for bad ammo ? Is this very common and what do you do with the rounds that don't fire. I would like to make them into dummy rounds but have no experience in removing the bullet and primer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. The gun is a hoot to shoot.

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!

nothing special, however some of the better ones with the bayonett lugs are milled receivers with the good chrome barrels. Check it over good, look for the shiny metal bolt, not the dull grey one. I had one that was wonderful, shot with the russian ones.
