What's Included
- Norinco SKS Type 56 family semi-auto rifle
Built on the SKS platform, this rifle uses a gas-operated, short-stroke piston action with the SKS-style gas tube above the barrel. It retains the SKS-pattern fixed 10-round box magazine configuration.
The rifle is fitted with an aftermarket laminated wood sporter-style stock featuring a Monte Carlo-style comb, along with a rubber buttpad. Length of pull is listed as 13.5.
It also features an aftermarket laminated upper handguard with elongated vent slots, which changes the look and feel from the standard SKS handguard configuration while retaining the SKS-pattern upper handguard location.
Sight setup is iron sights with a front post protected by ears and a non-standard rear aperture/peep-style rear sight assembly. The bolt carrier uses the SKS-style right-side charging handle, and sling swivel stud(s) are visible on the stock at the front underside and rear underside.
