Mine is my first one. It is the one i shoot ( i have over 70 of them) It is a Factory 26 Sino 56 production with well worn stock from being carried and blood rust on the reciever and top cover.(blood if left on metal will rust and deeply pit the surface where it lays)it has no finish left . It was one of the first imported and cost 179.99 at the time and only ammo available then was lapua commercial from Finland. It shoots excellent . Ill post a pic its the top one in the photo

Wow! 70! I feel ashamed that I only have 5! Seriously though, that's a neat sks, blood and all- Also I'm very impressed by your safety precautions! (trigger locks are great!)
Have gotten real scarce now. Samco has nothing left really. They say pitted barrels, etc.
It is rare to find a truly matching M59. But, on these rifles I do not care so much. I only have one stamped matching M59.
Others are force matched on the bolt carrier and the other parts are the original part numbers. Never were even that many
of these made and a lot of them were converted to M59/66 rifles. I think best balanced SKS ever built and a lot of guys will agree with that.
It is definitely worth keeping an eye out for one. The one pictured is the one I shoot at any competition like the one coming
up in Wisconsin, April 28. You probably know the one I mean. Nina's shoot? If you need help finding one or what ever you know
about where to find me. I will get more if I can find one that looks correct to me.
My favorite one would be my Chinese Public Security SKS. Out of the bunch I have, it seems to be the most accurate and consistent thus far, all though there are two I won't fire.

I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem.
i found a nice one today that came with the tapco stock and original stock for $279.they told me they would give me a better deal because i buy from them and send them coustomers but no money to spare.i need to stop going in when i am broke.i find one good deal then turn around and find a better one. the 56 tula i got acouple of weeks ago shoots good .
Currently I do not own an SKS but my favorite that I did own would be my 1951 Russian refurb with laminate stock and factory spring loaded firing pin.

Ah, you used to have a good one.
Its funny how it became my favorite. It was just another affordable SKS that I bought until I found the factory original spring loaded firing pin then it became my holy grail There were no special markings or ultra rare specifics, I just melted over the FP Prince50 over on the SKS boards ended up with it
