OK, so in the research I have already done, I've determined that I have a Norinco type 56 SKS made at the triangle 26 plant, My serial number (stamped after Tri-26, and the three characters) is D24138587. stock, mag and receiver all match. I believe that this makes it somewhere between '76 and '81, but that's where I get confused.... I'm wondering if my serial is actually only the 38587, which would put it in 1956, which kind of makes sense, as it is a type 56, and the matching serials on everything only list the 38587.
So, what is my serial? and is the Norinco a decent SKS? any known issues? it seems well put together and solid, if a little neglected... partially my fault, partially the fault of my father. either way there is still a lot of cosmo that I need to melt off with steam, so.... any advice on this (hopefully?) fine weapon?
Thanks in Advance!!
