This is 1957 Russian Tula SKS 1957 letter series. All parts are matching and non refurbished apart from the 30 round magazine. The rifle is not your standard Russian SKS. A very small percentage of these rifles came in with the original configuration with no forced matched parts and original Shellac. What makes this rifle even rarer is that it’s a “letter series” gun. There are only a few hundred to low thousands imported that were non refurb. This gun does have a small indent in the rear of the stock. 975.00 firm. NO TRADES.
