SKS Serial Number Registry

Great survey, and I hope you get participation.  I've submitted responses pertaining to my three Russian SKS.

Great survey, and I hope you get participation.  I've submitted responses pertaining to my three Russian SKS.

Got them, and thank you for your help! We're edging up, and I'm confident that we will see significant enough participation in the near future to start drawing some real conclusions.

A link to basic summary results:

SUMMARY STATISTICS -- SKS SURVEY

Again, once the database grows in size (200+ responses), I will begin attaching more interesting comparisons... looking at multiple variables, like year and arsenal by physical features, cyrillic code, etc.

CYRILLIC CHARACTER PREFIX/SUFFIX PIVOT TABLE

The link above takes you to a pivot table that shows all Cyrillic character ranges that have been added to date.

The "*" symbol separates a prefix from a suffix

The "T_" and "I_" represent the arsenal

There is some "blocking" occurring, but the database is way too small to start drawing any conclusions around prefix and year patterns.

Regarding suffix, the only conclusion I can draw so far is that they are limited to 1954 Izhevsk and 1955/56 "letter series"/"no date" Tula.

Noyta, how do we look up certain serial number ranges within the first two cryllic symbols? Maybe the data you see on your end shows this, but it's not on the public view.

I have created a pivot table (currently hidden) that shows the highest (MAX) serial number for each Cyrillic character combination entered. I will release the data once the database grows a bit.

I suppose I can also create a similar pivot table that shows the lowest (MIN) serial number for each Cyrillic character combination entered. Then you can determine the range. Again, we need more participation for these types of analyses to have value.

Spread the word!

NoytaCCCP: Is it too soon to draw any conclusions about the relative scarcity of 1955-dated Ruskies? I have a vested interest in this, as mine is one of the four that have been registered so far.

Too soon my friend. Certainly a rare beast so far.
