The Norinco SKS is a Chinese-manufactured variant of the Soviet SKS rifle, chambered in 7.62×39mm. It features a semi-automatic, gas-operated action, a 10-round fixed magazine, and a 20-inch barrel. The rifle is known for its reliability, affordability, and smooth recoil, making it a popular choice among collectors and shooters. It has a milled receiver and a wooden stock, and it operates with a tilting bolt system rather than the rotating bolt found in the AK-47. The SKS is also recognized for its durability and accuracy, making it suitable for both collectors and practical use.
