Made in China, this Norinco Type 56 SKS features the spiker setup with an integral under-barrel folding spike bayonet. The rifle uses a gas-operated short-stroke piston action and is chambered in 7.62x39 with a fixed, hinged internal 10-round magazine.
The rifle wears a reddish-brown wood stock and matching wood upper handguard, along with a black rubber recoil pad fitted to the buttstock that appears to be an added modification. Length of pull is listed at 14.0.
Sight equipment is iron: a hooded front post paired with a tangent rear sight that uses an elevation ladder and sliding cursor. This is a straightforward SKS sighting arrangement that matches the rifle's original military-style layout.
Markings include "五六式" and an arsenal-style emblem/mark described as a triangular/angled symbol with the specific number not legible, along with the receiver marking "NORINCO SKS 7.62X39 CHINA" over "JPE PAS. CA." The receiver serial is recorded as 21002234, with matching partial serial "002234" reported/visible on the receiver cover, bolt carrier, magazine floorplate, trigger guard, and stock. Estimated manufacture is 1976-1977.
