Importer markings read "MADE IN CHINA BY CGA" and "IMPORTED BY GLNIC LA, CA," along with "SKS 7.62x39MM." The receiver line shows a "90" prefix ahead of the serial. These identifiers clearly place this rifle among the CGA/GLNIC Los Angeles Type 56 imports.
The receiver, bolt carrier, and buttstock share matching serial numbers, a notable detail for buyers who value original, correctly paired components. The bolt carrier is left in the white, contrasting against the blued steel receiver and barrel.
Mechanically, it follows the proven SKS pattern with a semi-automatic, short-stroke gas piston system and tilting-bolt action. It has a fixed 10-round internal magazine and a right-side charging handle, with a manual safety lever inside the trigger guard. An unmarked clamp-on multi-port muzzle brake is installed at the muzzle.
The hardwood stock includes sling swivels and a fore-end grasping groove, paired with a wood ventilated handguard featuring three elongated vents on the right side. Sights are iron, with a protected front post and a tangent rear sight leaf graduated 1–10. The bayonet lug remains, though the bayonet and cleaning rod are not installed. Length of pull is 12.5 in.
