About the Norinco SKS

The SKS (Samozaryadny Karabin Sistemy Simonova – Self-Loading Carbine System Simonov) is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine originally designed in 1949. These Norinco versions are Chinese-made imports that have become popular among Utah shooters due to their affordability and relatively simple operation. It’s a good firearm to have on hand for a variety of uses, though it isn’t necessarily a specialized tool like a modern sporting rifle.

The 7.62x39mm cartridge is readily available in Utah, and is known for its performance at moderate ranges. These rifles generally feature a fixed stock and a blade front sight with a rear sight adjustable for elevation. They feed from a ten-round detachable magazine, and the trigger pull is typically heavier than more modern rifles.

It’s important to note that the weight listed is a range. Individual rifles may vary slightly. Also, while some SKS rifles can be modified, this particular model is sold in its original configuration.
