The Norinco Type 56 Carbine is a version of the Soviet-made SKS semiautomatic rifle. Initially produced by China North Industries Corporation (Norinco), a state-run manufacturer, it fires the standard Soviet 7.62x39mm round, contributing to its reliability and ample stopping power. It's known for its gas piston action, satin Catalpa wood stock, metal buttplate, fullered handguard, and distinctive folding bayonet. This model holds significant historical and collector's value, making it a must-have for any firearms enthusiast.
Enhancing its unique appeal, the right side of the receiver is marked with characters: "Gong an", indicating this rifle was made for Security Forces. The 016 Factory Code, complete matching numbers, milled fire control group housing, U notch stock ferrule, "3" rear leaf sight, and 2-piece gas tube further detail its distinctive features. Please note, the year of manufacture is estimated based on spike bayonet, sling swivels, and other factory changes as there is no real proof that determines the year of manufacture.
