This is a 1954-dated Russian SKS semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62×39, manufactured at the Tula Arsenal. It features an attractive laminated wood stock and solid original metalwork. The receiver and bolt show matching serials, the stock stamping does not match the receiver. A solid, usable example with good visual appeal for a collector or shooter.
