I got my first two in today.
The first is all matching and a six-digit, which puts production in late 1956. Everything is original number matched, even the stock. The stock has no cracks. Just like all of them, it shows lots of honest wear. However, I'm really happy with it. It is the first six-digit I've seen out of this batch, so that really made my day.
Number two is a 2-prefix which puts production in 1958. The bolt, carrier and cover are from another rifle. This one looks nicer than the first with a much better stock appearance wise. I'm not sure I'm keeping this one, I think I will sell her and put my hook back into the water on another hand select.
I will post pics tomorrow. I've been cleaning cosmoline since I got home. However, getting two C&R Chinese SKS in the mail...man these are still the good old days once in awhile.
