This is a scarce Chinese SKS-M rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, factory-configured to accept standard AK-47 magazines. Produced by Norinco and imported prior to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, these rifles offer the best of both worlds—SKS reliability with AK magazine compatibility. Unlike standard SKS rifles with fixed mags, the SKS-M features a shorter “paratrooper” style barrel, no bayonet lug, and a modified magazine well to reliably feed AK mags. This example has its original blonde hardwood stock, factory sling loop, and comes with a curved steel 30-round AK magazine.
