ULTRA RARE Factory [0138] Stamped Receiver SKS Type 56 – All Matching – 1971 Experimental

ULTRA RARE Factory [0138] Stamped Receiver SKS Type 56 – All Matching – 1971 Experimental

For the serious military surplus collector.

This is a museum-grade Chinese Type 56 SKS from Factory [0138], featuring the incredibly rare stamped sheet-metal receiver.

Produced only during a brief experimental window in 1970–1971, these rifles are distinguished by their rivet-construction receivers (see photos). Most were destroyed or heavily used; finding one in this "time capsule" condition is nearly impossible.

• Variant: Stamped Receiver (Double-Rivet trunnion).
• Year: 1971 (7-million serial).
• Condition: Mint/Unissued. The arsenal bluing is deep and original. The (refinished) Chu-wood stock is pristine with matching serial.
• Matching Numbers: 100% Matching. Receiver, Bolt, Carrier, Magazine, Trigger Guard, and Stock all share the serial 4363.
• Bore: Mirror-bright, chrome-lined, sharp rifling.
• Bayonet: Correct spike (cruciform) bayonet.

This is a cornerstone piece for any SKS or Cold War collection. It has been meticulously preserved and represents a unique chapter in Chinese firearms development.

Price: $1,800
