Very Scarce North Korean Type 63 SKS-45 Pattern Semi-Automatic Rifle with Bayonet

A North Korean manufactured variant of the Russian SKS-45. Reportedly, a limited amount of these were exported for use by the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. Surviving examples are very seldom seen on the American collector market today when compared with other SKS variants. No import marks are visible on this example, indicating it was likely a Vietnam War bring-back. Features a hooded front post and elevation adjustable notched tangent rear sight, and folding blade bayonet. Original transliterated serial number: "0717J". The top cover is marked with circled "star" with model type beneath. Fitted with birch handguard and laminate finger groove stock with smooth buttplate. Matching "0717" serial numbers on the bolt, bolt carrier, dust cover, trigger housing, magazine floor plate, and buttstock. Includes green web sling and cleaning kit in butt trap.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 85% plus of original blue finish with moderate handling marks, freckling, minor pitting on top rear, and light spotting. Stock is fine with several moderate scratches and flaked/crazed varnish. Mechanically excellent.
