Norinco Type 56 SKS 7.62x39mm Semi-Auto Rifle

This Type 56 SKS is marked as Arsenal 0129 on the receiver. Many of the parts from this arsenal were forged rather than stamped. That is the case on this rifle. The front sight casing is forged, the trigger guard is forged as is the receiver. Visible serial numbers match. Action functions properly mechanically as observed.
