Chinese SKS mystery

[Miami JBT]

I just got a Chinese Type 56 SKS Carbine. Markings are the following on he left side of the receiver.

"Factory 26 Stamp
Chinese Characters
12 million serial number"

followed by importer stampings.

"China
7.62
N.A. Cc.
xxxxxxield, NJ."

I believe that the NA. Cc. means Navy Arms Cowboy Companion and the last markings were miss stamped of Ridgefield, NJ.

The SKS is a twenty inch model with spike bayonet and it has a small side scope mount on the left rear of the receiver. I am aware that Navy Arms sold SKS Carbines with side scopes. Came in the standard orange wooded stock and a whole lot of cosmoline still on the rifle.

That orange tint comes from the shellac derived on the finger & toenails of dissidents...

The wood is called Chu-wood and its a varnish finish,very comman rifle and they sell today for $200-300. There great shooters. Sick with the stock ten shot fixed mag. There the most reliable and get the strippers that hold 10rds for reload or use loose rds. Clean and lightly oil the gas system and tube. Allso leave it the way it was made open sites no scopes. Its a brush rifle
