Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these Chi-Com SKS rifles rare?

These are original Vietnam-era turn-in rifles that were stored in a neutral country for 20 years to bypass import restrictions, making them a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts.

What is cosmoline and why is it important for these SKS rifles?

Cosmoline is a heavy grease used for preserving firearms. These SKS rifles are coated in it, protecting them during long-term storage, but it requires thorough cleaning before use.

What's the difference between milled and stamped trigger housings on SKS rifles?

Milled trigger housings are a single piece of steel, considered more robust. Stamped housings are made from two pieces riveted together. Milled versions are often preferred by collectors.

What safety precautions are necessary when cleaning a cosmoline-covered SKS?

It's critical to clean the firing pin channel thoroughly. A stuck firing pin in the forward position can cause accidental discharges or slam fires, posing a significant safety risk.
