Norinco SKS Type 56 Spiker 7.62x39 Semi-Auto Rifle, 20.5" Barrel, Fixed 10-Round, Red-Dot Installed, Chinese Import
This Chinese-made Norinco SKS Type 56 Spiker pairs classic SKS construction with a practical sight upgrade. It retains the 20.5" non-threaded barrel, fixed 10-round internal magazine, and hardwood furniture, while a compact red-dot is mounted on a rear-sight-base optic mount that replaces the original rear sight leaf. Import marks from CSI Ontario, California are present, and the bolt carrier remains in the white for a traditional SKS look.

The Type 56 Spiker designation identifies this rifle as a Chinese SKS variant from Norinco, chambered in 7.62x39 and built on a steel receiver with a blued finish. It uses the SKS short-stroke gas piston system and feeds from a fixed SKS-pattern 10-round internal magazine.
The original rear sight leaf has been removed and replaced with a dedicated rear-sight-base optic mount. A compact, non-branded red-dot is installed on this mount, providing a red dot reticle. The original front sight base with protective ears is present; however, the threaded elevation drum and post are missing.
Core dimensions and handling features include a 20.5" non-threaded barrel and a 12.0" length of pull. The charging handle features a knurled knob, and the bolt carrier is left in the white, consistent with common SKS configuration details.
The rifle is stocked in light-finished hardwood with a matching wood handguard featuring ventilation slots. Markings include "SKS 7.62x39MM," "MADE IN CHINA BY NORINCO," and importer "CSI Ontario, California."
