$5 shipping * Authentic Vietnam war/Cold War era SKS Type 56 and type 81 (Chinese) Oil Bottle and slings

Up for grabs is an authentic piece of Cold War history: an original Chinese Type 56 (SKS) surplus sling($15) paired with its correct metal oiler bottle ($5). These are not modern reproductions; they are genuine "New Old Stock" military surplus featuring the sought-after "762" caliber stamps and factory markings.

Historical Significance

The Type 56 SKS and its accessories are iconic symbols of 20th-century conflict. These slings were standard issue for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and saw extensive service across the globe:

• Vietnam War: Heavily supplied to the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) and Viet Cong, where the durable canvas and metal construction survived the harsh jungle humidity far better than leather.

• Global Conflicts: Widely used by various factions throughout the Cold War, including various African and Middle Eastern insurgencies.

Features for the Collector:

• Late-Pattern "Spring Coil" Design: Features the wire-bound spring attachments—a design improvement engineered to prevent the rot and cracking associated with earlier leather tabs.

• Authentic Markings: Clearly stamped with the "762" caliber designation and Chinese military arsenal characters.

• Square-Profile Oiler: The classic silver-finish metal oil bottle, an essential "case candy" item for any SKS or Type 56 collection.

• Condition: Excellent surplus condition. Heavy-duty OD green cotton canvas with original galvanized steel hardware.

Perfect for: Completing a period-correct rifle build, historical reenacting, or adding to a Vietnam-era militaria collection.
