Two of our favorite YouTube channels have done some valuable reviews of the Chinese type 56 SKS rifles that are available. Check out these videos to get a good feel of what these historic rifles are capable of. Although they show battlefield wear, they are a phenomenal gun for the price.

These older type 56 SKS’s are built solid, made to last. They have a level of craftsmanship that surpasses the Norinco SKS’s that were so common in the 1980’s. As the old saying goes, “Which do you think is made better, a rifle made to kill Western capitalists, or sell to Western capitalists…?”
