This Type 56 SKS is the spiker configuration with the bayonet lug integrated into the front sight base and the folding spike bayonet. Import markings read "SKS 7.62x39 CHINA, KSI PAS. CA." and identify it as a KSI Pasadena, California import. Matching receiver and buttstock serials add to its appeal for those seeking consistent major components.
The rifle uses a gas-operated, short-stroke piston system with a tilting bolt. It has a 20.5-inch barrel and a steel receiver with a blued finish, paired with a bolt carrier left in the white/gray. The fixed 10-round internal magazine is designed to be loaded using stripper clips.
A full-length hardwood stock with an orange shellac finish is complemented by a wood handguard featuring three ventilation slots. The stock includes a sling swivel on the underside of the buttstock. Sights are iron: a hooded front post with protective ears and a tangent rear leaf with sliding elevation.
Length of pull is 13.5 inches. A ventilated black rubber recoil pad has been installed in place of the factory steel buttplate, offering a different shoulder interface while maintaining the rifle’s traditional profile.
The bore is excellent with a clean, mirror finish and sharp rifling, aligning with the rifle’s overall very good condition.
