We have several other mods left to install. Also waiting on a feller to help us get a version 2.1 theme that looks more like the original OG sksfiles theme. 

Yes. A commercial import from '89. Likely a scrubbed military carbine from inventory rebuilt with refurbished and scrubbed hardware along with a new stock. Looks like a nice one. 

This is my first post on the boards.Here are some pictures of my Chinese Sks that I got when my Father passed away. I know that it is a commercial version but trying to figure out if it was made by Norinco. Only serial numbers are on the stock and left side of the receiver. It is a Century Arms import.

Thanks

You may have noticed that the boards look vastly different than they did yesterday.  We had major issues with the server and some corrupted/missing files.  LC was up until 3 AM last night jury rigging the site back together so it would be at east somewhat useable.  At some point, he realized we simply had to upgrade from our old SMF software to the latest version to get a stable board up again.  Unfortunately, the custom theme that LC utilized and modified for use when the boards opened in 2014 is not compatible with this latest version of SMF.  Many of the individual elements such as the custom smileys, avatars, logos, etc. are back up and running, but the style specific stuff like the SKSGuide banners, sponsor links, and Donate buttons are gone as are many custom icons/buttons, notification badges, and other familiar layout aspects from the old boards.  Additionally, some of the under the hood 'mods' that run things like audio/video embedding, the trader feedback, and the imgbb image uploader are no longer working.  We will see what makes sense to reintegrate, but some of those things may not come back.

If you are cruising around the boards and see something that is "broken", please post here or send a PM to the admin so we can at least be made aware of it.  Still a few tweaks to be done and we are searching for a better theme (the default SMF theme is atrocious!)  We thank you for your patience and understanding!

So the numbering sequence is the same ? so if my rifle is a KSI Paratrooper with 7 digits and a letter P (8158XXXP) would that make it a 1963 ?

Let's see the complete receiver serial number side and a full length shot. Is the stock a blade unit with the bayo channel filled in? PAX

If it's an Arsenal 26 with a leading 8 (year code), then the donor Type 56 for your Paratrooper was indeed a 1963. The paratrooper itself was prepared from the donor SKS in the mid-80s to early 90s.
