Classification: Non-RestrictedChinese SKS Type 56 Honor Guard Chrome Description:
The Chinese SKS is a gas-operated, semi-automatic firearm. And it became a military rifle in the 1950s. Also, it utilizes a tilting bolt action system. Integrated into each rifle are a 5-round magazine and folding bayonet. Because of its relatively low cost and readily available ammo, Type 56 became one of the most popular surplus rifles in Canada. In short, this rifle is great for plinking or hunting.
Also, the SKS has a conventional layout, with a wooden stock and rifle grip. It is a gas-operated rifle that has a spring-loaded bolt carrier and a gas piston rod that work to unlock and cycle the action via gas pressure exerting pressure against them. The SKS represents an intermediate step in the process towards the development of true assault rifles, being shorter and less powerful than the semi-automatic rifles that preceded it, such as the Soviet SVT-40, but being longer (10 cm or 4in) than AK-series rifles which replaced it. As a result, it has a slightly higher muzzle velocity than those arms that replaced it.
