Am I looking at this correctly http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=26665 Factory 326 made in 1981. Pretty sure there were one or two made before that one if they're going to claim it's the first one. Two piece gas tube, stamped trigger guard. At any rate it has a pinned barrel which means it's a 70's on up.

Could the first SKS built be different from the first Norinco ever built?

[HATCH]

Might be first commercial made one. But norinco been making them since the 60s

There is one born every minute.

Ha!!! Just because it's number 25 million AND one doesn't make it #1... Of course, we all know that... but there are some people who will pay for a cool serial number... I sold a Nazi-marked PPK long ago, number 301000... One looker (who passed on it) told me he would have paid double my price if that 'one' in the serial number had been another 'zero'...

[funnyjim014]

So...just because it has a 25000001 set number people are going nuts over it? I'll pass and keep mine with all the love marks

Sure wish I didn't live in California. I'd bid five grand on that puppy immediately.

I also have some swamp land in Florida where I'm going to put my newly purchased Brooklyn bridge............

[funnyjim014]

A bridge that big would be great in a swamp lol keeps the gators below you while u choot em with ur 5k sks

[merlin101]

Ah shucks! This lets me out,"We will not ship this gun to California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey or New York."

Its crazy that folks are bidding on it that high. They are going to get it, and be telling the gun store that does the transfer all about it. When it comes in... the gun store folks are going to be like... that aint number 1, its number 25 million and 1. Then the buyer will learn that only the last several numbers of the serial number is stamped on the guns other parts, not the whole serial number.

Surely the seller has to know that he's misrepresenting? Maybe the seller's that stupid too?

[dverna]

It is my understanding that the gun is in the personal collection of the owner of CDNN.

I would have no interest in it even if it was #1. Just posted it for those on this forum who are smarter than I about such things.....and that would not take much...LOL.

Small world. During the mid 1980's, I was at National gun sales, one of several shops on "gun shop row" on Parthenia st. in Northridge California. Was there to buy a m1896 Swedish Mauser for $69.95. They had a double floor rack of about 40 m96's, and not behind the counter, but up front, so you could pick and choose at your leisure.

Anyway, they had lots of different guns in groups thru out the store. I happened upon some $89.95 as new Chinese, Norinco made SKS's. Not very interested, but noticed a line of zeros on top of the bolt behind the rear sight of one rifle. Picked it up and sure enough, all zero's on every serial numbered part except on the side of the receiver, that # was 2500000. I was mildly interested, but really did not grasp the significance of the find and walked away. A colossal misstep, but this was a time when vast amounts of surplus guns were coming into the country at very low prices. The mauser I bought that day was near new, all matching numbers (on 13 different parts) and had a non threaded barrel. 2 dozen walther PP's filled a display case steps away at $139.95 apiece. A round rack near by had twenty Egyptian hakims, 99 bucks each. In truth, the amount of good deals overloaded my thinking ability at the time and caused the mistake.
