RIFLE: TULA ARMS MODEL RUSSIAN SKS IMPORTED BY CAI, SERIAL NUMBER 3R3378, BLUE, CASE NOT INCLUDED, SEMI - AUTOMATIC, 7.62MM X 39 RUSSIAN, 20 Notes: This is a Russian made SKS made at the Tula factory in 1952. It was imported by Century Arms Inc. It appears all original. It has matching stock serials, an unpainted blued barrel, a blade bayonet, and the trapdoor cleaning kit. The stock is a deep reddish color which is likely the original Soviet factory shellac. Soviet armorers tinted their shellac to give the birch wood a uniform, rich tone. The finish on the stock has some damage, specifically on the front fore end. It looks like someone started to strip it but stopped. Please look at all pictures carefully. All stamps, serial numbers and damage it presented.
