Albanian SKS
The Albanian SKS, a rare variant produced from 1967-1978, features unique characteristics like an extended handguard, blued bayonet, AK-style charging handle, and a dual-trap buttplate. While a licensed Chinese Type 56 copy, major parts are not interchangeable. The stock often exhibits 'checking' due to its bright orange shellac finish and temperature exposure. Testing with Hornady 123gr SST ammunition showed improved consistency over surplus rounds.
