Welcome to the most up to date database of "THE BIG ONES".
This should be the most comprehensive list of the rarest of the SKS rifles. This list is for:
1) the North Vietnamese Type1 SKS
2) the East German Karibiner S
3) the North Korean Type 63
4) the Soviet Sino Russian star marked Chinese rifles
5) the Long Barreled Yugoslavian M59.
6) Early Russian spike bayonet rifles. So far in the USA, they have been all 1949, I have been provided with confirmation of 1946-1948 rifles as well. No known units in the USA
Post if you have a number to add, and
after you add it, I'll merge your post. Pics help allot, so please add them. If you come across a confirmed by sighting, please let me know, as I cannot do this without your help guys and girls.
Thank you all in advance, happy browsing.

After listing in this style, it is clear that the first two numbers are year of manufacture, and the last 4 appear to be a consecutive numbering system, giving a much smaller estimated quantity of rifles. Not accepting that the first two are year of manufacture indicates both of two statistical impossibilities. One if which is that no bring backs with overlapping SN exist in the US which would be over a billion to one, or that all Bringback NVA rifles are in the bottom half of those produced per year which is about 8 million to one.

Early features Russian with spike bayonet. These rifles are usually 1949, but proof has been presented of 1946-1948 rifles. Right now I am concentrating solely on the light refurb spikers with the correct early features. I know MANY 1949 heavy refurbs with blades exist in the US, so I do not want to dive into that pool.
