Can I get more info on an SKS made in China by CGA and imported by GLNIC in CA? I've never heard of this manufacturer. Also, do the first serial numbers indicate year of import? Thanks
"...GLNIC LA CA is "GLNIC Corporation of America", a company based in California, but owned by the People's Liberation Army of China. GLNIC may stand for "Guangdon Lingnan Ind. Corp." or "Guangdon Lingnan Import Company". I've found information indicating that "CGA" may be stamped on the trunnion ahead of the serial numbers on early-import GLNIC AK47S rifles, and that CGA was the exporter for GLNIC-imported AK47S and SKS rifles. I have to wonder if "CGA" was another acronym for China Jing An..."
This came from, here, but I have no idea of its validity. http://www.internetliberationfront.com/articles/chinajingan.shtml
CJA was closed by the ATF for illegally importing and selling FA Korean AK's.
The short amount of internet research I did indicates your rifle was actually made by Norinco. If nothing else, you have a bit of info about your rifle.
In any case, an SKS is an SKS.
