** Chinese Type 56 SKS 7.62x39mm Semi-Automatic Rifle Factory 26 - A Chinese semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, designated as the Type 56. This firearm features a gas-operated, tilting bolt action with a 20-inch barrel. The receiver is constructed of forged steel with a blued finish, while the bolt and bolt carrier are finished in the white with a bright, polished appearance. The rifle is equipped with a hooded post front sight and a tangent rear sight graduated from 1 to 10. A folding integral spike-style bayonet is mounted beneath the barrel. The furniture consists of a two-piece wooden stock and handguard with a semi-pistol grip, finished in a reddish-brown varnish, and a metal buttplate featuring a spring-loaded trapdoor. The rifle includes a green canvas web sling with leather attachment tabs. The left side of the receiver bears an impressed mark consisting of a number 26 within an equilateral triangle, followed by three Chinese characters 五六式 and the serial number 1613806. The right side of the receiver features a two-line import mark reading CAL ST ALB VT SKS 7.62x39 CHINA. Matching serial numbers, appearing as the truncated 13806, are stamped into the bolt carrier, the underside of the trigger guard, and the magazine floorplate.
