Has anyone ever heard of these was reading another forum and ran across this topic, said it was a prototype that came out right before the import ban.

I have...
From what I understand, there has been claims that a few did make it to the US. I have seen one or two in 223 but iirc, they were done by individuals at later date here in the US.
Would be very interested in adding it to the guide if one is ever found in the US.
I had seen pics and elusive references to the .223 SKS, but never saw one in person. This pic is definitely interesting.

I wish one of the pics would have shown the importer.

This is the ad from Shotgun News that started the rumor of a .223 SKS. It was in the July 10 1987 issue a full 6 months before the first detachable mag SKS rifles entered the USA. This is a teaser ad or a look what's coming ad (place your order now). These were used a lot in Shotgun News. What this ad does not tell us is how many IF ANY made it here.
Personally I don't think any made it here. There would be somebody somewhere standing on a soap box shouting look what I got.
:P..............................Joe
Hmm... "Manufactured By Norinco Of China". rofl
I think your right Joe... We would have seen a US owner showing one off by now.
Very nice Joe! This is also the last nail in the coffin for that "DIG = Dominion Import Group" theory that is so prevalent about the web. As much as it pains me to say so, GM was right from the very start!! :o :P chuckles1
Delta Investment Group... banana time banana time banana time rockon

Yes Greasemonkey was right. :o
During 1988 DIG was the biggest advertiser of the Detachable 20" SKS (more ads to follow soon). This ad was the first and last mention of a .223 SKS.

Delta Investment Group.... can you D.I.G. it rofl2 rofl2
So the ad pretty much pre-dates all removable mag models, with the exception of the Type 84, interesting.
And they didn't modify existing rifles, they were new built.
With your permission would it be ok if I take that picture you posted from shotgun news and post it on the sks boards ?
I like the fact that it says (MADE BY NORINCO) on it

Get ready to relearn everything we assumed about the Type 84. Original NA ads coming soon.

Wait wait... Is that one of them thar M or D thingys? rofl2
So....I have a noob question....
Would this be an "M" or "D"? rofl
Go to Yooperj site and scroll on down and there it is.
http://www.yooperj.com/SKS-23.htm (http://www.yooperj.com/SKS-23.htm)
The serial number starts with 87 and has a shorter barrel (same as the posted D.I.G ad) only this one was imported through Century. Hum...Century and D.I.G were neighbors. This rifle also has the dual mag release. At least 4 were made.
