BigAppleRanch: yours looks like the classic Type 56, despite having the spike bayonet vs. the blade, which I thought was much more common.
The wood is much harder and durable than on the semi-military common Chinese SKS with the really soft, yellowish wood. Even with some dings in your wood, it looks better and has the dark military appearance.
Classic probably imported these from Slovenia or Albania, avoiding the total (George Bush Senior?) ban on Chinese guns. There seem to be none of these SKS left in any "Third Countries" for import.
Some guys on AKfiles claim that Classic's "hand picks" only means that they are grabbed by Ben's hands, versus his feet. Did your bolt handle still have the short piece of garden hose on it?
Nope. no garden hose lol. I've never ordered from Classic Firearms before, but Ben probably grabbed this one with his feet lmao!.
