Chinese Type-56 Vietnam war era SKS (Deactivated)

[JustAGuy1250]

Finally got this puppy in the mail, a beautiful Chinese Type-56 SKS
All matching, with original cleaning kit (already bought one in preperation which ended up being a waste of money) and fully moving!
sadly not dry-firing but for it being a 2019 deactivation, it's pretty good..

Sorry for the limited photo's, the picture adding tool they use on this site works very bad for me and i cant be arsed to spend more time with it to add more so i've selected the best 4 pictures to include here



EDIT: I've noticed my manufacturer stamp isn't triangle 26.. but 816 in a triangle?
SN is 1.800.334
Anyone know more about it?

Nice looking rifle. To bad it does not work. Rich A. in Pa.

[JustAGuy1250]

yes, sadly laws force it to be this way here in Europe

You have any clue what year this SKS could've been produced from?
Factory 26 is an easy read, but as this is Factory 816.. there isn't much out there in terms of info on production

how was it deactivated?

[JustAGuy1250]

Bolt cut in half and welded to the breach, small metal bit welded to the reciever in the rear so the bolthandle can still move but not so far back that it can be taken out, hammer is also welded to the rear and the disassembly button on the triggerguard is welded

all welds are some sort of blackish looking stuff that blends in REALLY well with the blueing

Notice ya got the bayo too. That became a big deal in my liberal state. Did get to fire my friends once. Pretty decent bark outta that barrel. I heard decent accuracy is the norm for these guns. Thanks for showing.

If the letter on the sight is like a upside down U it is a non-export type. If it has a letter looking like a D it is a export type. Rich A. in Pa.

Factory code 816, SN 1800334
Do you know when this roughly was produced?

Suspecting the early 70's myself
