	Chinese Type 56 Rifle, native built SKS
		The SKS was adopted by the Soviet Union in 1946, and is the basis for the later AK series of weapons.
		The first Chinese SKS carbines were identical to their Soviet counterparts, and were adopted by the Peoples Republic of China as the Type 56 carbine.
		Chinese-made SKS carbines are usually found with stocks and handguards made of a porous Asian hardwood resembling teakwood, and brushed with an orange colored shellac-type finish.

	SKS - FirearmWiki
		A standard SKS is semi-automatic and has a fixed 10 round magazine which is loaded from the top of the rifle manually singly or with a disposable 10-round stripper clip.
		SKS firing pins that are stuck in the forward position have been known to cause accidental "slamfires" (uncontrolled automatic fire that empties the magazine).
		Among these were a bolt-action carbine, which was never produced beyond the prototype; a select-fire assault rifle which became the famous Kalishnikov AK 47; a light machine-gun or squad automatic weapon which became the Degtyarov RPD, and a semiautomatic carbine, which became the SKS.

	Simonov's sniper rifle

		Carbine has 10 cartridge removable magazine which is loaded while lock is opened usually from 10 cartridges plastic magazine-clips.
		In Soviet army SKS was changed by Dragunov's sniper rifle SVD in 1963 but for a long time it stayed in secondary such as supply and communication subdivisions.

	Modern Firearms - Rifle - SKS carbine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At the present time most army stocks of SKS are in storage or sold as surplus on both domestic and foreign markets, and the most notable role of the SKS is that it is still used as a ceremonial weapon by the various Russian Honor Guards.
		Many off those carbines, along with the original Russian ones, were sold as a military surplus during the last decades, either in the original for or in the "civilized" form, with bayonets removed.
		SKS is fed from the integral 10-rounds magazine, which could be loaded from the top through the open bolt by loose cartridges or by using special 10 rounds stripper clips.

	SKS Carbine Safety Concerns and Trigger Re
		The SKS Carbine features a "free-Floating" firing pin which means it has no spring to return and hold the pin rear-ward in the bolt.
		The SKS Carbine trigger, in general, is made to have a lot of trigger creep.
		A big problem accuracy shooters have with the SKS is the amount of creep built in to the SKS Carbine Trigger.

	SKS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SKS was to be a gap-filling firearm produced using the proven operating mechanism design of the PTRS and using proven milled forging manufacturing techniques.
		Although the SKS was a front-line Soviet issued rifle for only two years, it has played a documented role in the two major Cold War conflicts - the Korean War and the Vietnam War [3] - and several subsequent 'dirty wars'.
		Many surplus SKS rifles were disposed of in the 1990s, and photographs and stories exist of SKSs used by guerilla fighters in Bosnia, Somalia and throughout Africa and South-East Asia [4] during the 1990s and 2000s.

	[No title]
		The SKS was Simonov's last design and, because it was manufactured prior to the AK-47, it is the first rifle to be chambered for the Soviet 7.62x39mm round (designated the M43 cartridge).
		Nonetheless, the SKS is still used for ceremonial purposes in the USSR and has been manufactured by several Communist bloc nations; it is still in use in several of them.
		Later issued versions of the Type 56 SKS have a spiked bayonet while the earlier versions have a folding bayonet that is of the conventional shape.

	What Is The SKS?
		The Samozaryadnyi Karabin Simonova, aka SKS, is a semi-automatic carbine firing the 7.62x39mm.
		For most of the above purposes, the SKS can be considerably improved by removing the bayonet and making other modifications, but if you mention anything like that around these people, they will rend their garments and call you "Bubba" and other things.
		The overwhelming majority of SKS owners are reasonably responsible citizens; the punks and the loonies are no more numerous than you'd expect in a group of two to four million people.

	Collecting and Shooting the SKS Carbine - HISTORY
		The AK-47 replaced the SKS as the primary soviet battle rifle in the mid 1950s.
		Large quantities of the Russian SKS were still manufactured, for export, all the way until the late 1960s, but the SKS is no longer an issue weapon to the Soviet Army.
		The main difference between other SKS rifles and the Yugoslav versions is that the bores of the Yugo versions were not chrome plated--Yugoslavia has no significant native chromium ore deposits, chromium was expensive to purchase and Yugoslavia's relationship with the USSR (a major chromium ore exporter) since 1948 was lukewarm at best.

	sks
		The accuracy of an SKS was checked by firing 3 rounds at a target and if it obtained sniper quality it was marked on the front of the front sight base with the number 1, with #2 and #3 as accuracy decreased.
		The last part of the carbine to be transformed was the flip-up tritium night sights, changing the model to 59/66A1.
		There are four variations of the grenade launcher that I have seen at the present time, one with holes in the end like a compensator, one that is solid and does not have the holes, and a variation in the milling of the metal where the gas seal ring is, one squared and one tapered.

	The SKS carbine -- an honest bargain by Christopher Maxwell Issue 21
		The SKS is a useful, reliable, rugged weapon within its limits, and within the limits of the cartridge.
		The SKS carbine is a Russian design from 1945.
		Some will say the SKS is a bit overbuilt for the 7.62 x 39 mm cartridge, but the weight reduces the recoil to negligible levels.

	Collecting and Shooting the SKS Carbine - Disassembly and Reassembly
		Make sure the SKS carbine is pointed in a safe direction and then set the safety to the safe position (as shown in figure 1).
		Once you are certain the carbine is safe, close the bolt and continue.
		Note: The Carbine's trigger should be cocked and the safety lever turned to the safe position before attempting this step.

	SKS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A standard SKS is semi-automatic and has a fixed/hinged 10 round magazine which is loaded from the top of the rifle manually singly or with a disposable 10-round stripper clip.
		The SKS fell out of service amongst its host nations during the 1960s and 1970s, although the Chinese police and military forces continued to use it during the 1990s, and chromed, polished ceremonial versions are still used today in parades.
		Many surplus SKS rifles were disposed of in the 1990s, and photographs and stories exist of SKSs used by guerilla fighters in Bosnia, Somalia and throughout Africa and South-East Asia [2] (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/01/24/1042911548582.html?oneclick=true) during the 1990s and 2000s.

	Junkyard Dog: My SKS
		Besides, this was a perfectly good SKS except for the stock, and I knew they'd wind up scrapping it for parts and I hated like hell to see that happen to a perfectly good gun if I could save it.
		The Albanians fitted the SKS with a spike bayonet, like the Soviets; but the Yugoslavs had hung it with a dirty great knife-type bayonet, and this would not fit into the groove in the Albanian stock, nor could it be made to do so without weakening the stock.
		So even though the Yugo SKS had not only the grenade launcher and the bayonet commonly quoted, but also the equally wicked night sights, yet it was quite legal, because the ATF determined that this particular weapon qualified as a collectible firearm.

	Rasheed Carbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rasheed (or Rashid) is a semi-automatic carbine, derived from the Hakim Rifle and used by the Egyptian military.
		The carbine resembles the Soviet SKS carbine, particularly in the permanently-attached pivoting blade bayonet which appears identical to its Russian counterpart.
		The carbine features a rear ladder sight, with a "battle" position for short-range fire as well as increments of 100 to 1000 metres, although the latter distance greatly exceeds the 300-metre effective range of the weapon.

	The SKS Manual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Soviet-designed Simonov semiautomatic carbine (SKS) is a gas-operated, integral box magazine-fed rifle equipped with a folding blade bayonet, and has an effective range of 400 meters.
		Designed and produced by the Soviet Union during the ravages of war (1943), the SKS rifle is not particularly noteworthy nor powerful, and fires an intermediate cartridge copied after that used by the Germans.
		If your SKS has been modified from its original military configuration, it may or may not be an "ugly gun" depending upon the nature of the retrofit.
