I'm going light on the RM notes on these to start out 2016. To be honest, 2015 burned me out on Chinese SKSs on Gunbroker. It was just bubba after bubba after bubba. I was able to get through these ones w/o much difficulty but still am able to compile all the data and find those odd ball guns that really add to the database (like the final DP gun in this list! thumb1)
Anywhoo, we have 107 guns changing hands this month.

Nice work. That's a lot of SKSs changing hands.
These Chinese are definitely going up in price. Perhaps the last of the retail offerings of these Chinese "by way of Albania" Type 56s are now $330 or $360 with hand select at J&G.
I love the Bravo Sierra being tossed by that guy discussing the DP in the middle of the list. Aren't these the same DPs with the somewhat crude cast gas blocks? rofl

Thanks P32! That DP was hilarious. I was going to talk more about it in the RM comments, but I frankly ran out of things to say! :)
I will say that the "Soon the Chinese decided to make a new SKS 56 Model DP for export to the U.S. It was very popular and was of excellent quality in fit & finish. Problem was soon after starting exports to the U.S. the Clinton ban went into effect for all Chinese firearms imports." part is so out in left field, it's laughable. DP guns mostly built in the 70's, China weapons trade to the US opened up in 1984ish and AWB went into effect in 1994. 10 years is 'soon'? C'mon man!
This particular type of Chinese SN's, (A3-1607470), did anyone figure out which arsenal/arsenals actually made them? Not too bad of a price for a BIN.

Another example of that type SN, (3-1604886), although there is a /?\ code, but the camera flash washed it out. I wish all my Chinese SKS were still in that condition!

Wow, $350.00 for an as-issued, VG condition /416\ PS carbine! Not bad, at all!

RM, I can imagine that you do get a bit jaded after looking through all the bubba'd SKS and the questionable chuckles1 presentations. I appreciate your time, though.

Hey FC!
The (Y)Y-ZZXXXXX S/N's are all out of /?5\ arsenal. The A in front of the first one is an exporter (or importer, though I believe exporter) applied additional stamp. Many have an extra letter either before, after, or not even associated with the S/N. Some have the letters completely covering the arsenal stamp. The letters are most certainly not originally stamped at /?5\ arsenal. They are vey consistent and we discuss them in great detail in https://clone.sks-files.com/index.php?topic=154.0
It basically boils down to: the first two digits appear to be a month code. The next two are the nth year code. The final five are the incremental S/N going from 00001 to ~20k per year. I have only ever found one that doesn't conform to the pattern we documented in the link above, and that one is easily explained as a new year 18 increment that got screwed up and the "1" month code was left out and the year code placed in front of the dash (basically human error). thumb1
The first one is indeed arsenal stamped... Its lightly struck.

Thanks RM! I'll read up on that link and catch up on that type SN. Seems like I remember a similar type SN on some Yugoslav M59/66? Or did I dream that? yawn1
