sks markings question

[cgates]

Ok, so I am looking for some insight on some sks markings. Will do my best to describe them and will upload a photo tomorrow if I can

This is a milled receiver gun. On the left side is the serial number. It has what appears to be Cyrillic characters followed by some numbers. Seems typical of a Russian....but the dust cover does not have a Russian arsenal mark or date like I am used to seeing. The cover serial number is stamped matching. Right before the serial number on the receiver is what looks like a small triangle with the number 12 in it.

Has a gas tube takedown lever that has the step in it like the Russians do, but has the angled bayo lug like the type 56 chinese

Any thoughts?

If I recall, after a certain time they stopped dating the dust cover. They just stamped the SN. I think in 1955 they stopped? Can't recall

1. Sounds like a Sino Soviet. Or it could be a 55-56 Tula

2. Virtually all of them are milled

My guess was Sino as well, but I'm not well versed in SKS's. However, Sinos use the Roman alphabet, not Cyrillic, right?

Does it have a little star on the left side of the reciver ? If so its 55/56. post up some pics and we should be able to help you better.
