So, I picked up a NLIB Norinco SKS MC-5D a few weeks ago. It's in really good shape, 16" chrome-lined barrel, Monte Carlo wood stock, very low round count. It also has a low serial number, #940029x. I am assuming the yr of production is 1994. It takes a little bit of practice to load correctly, and it works best when you insert the magazine while holding the bolt back. I tried some various 30 round mags, and it fed OK. The Chinese mags work 100% though (Thanks turkeydad). From what I can tell, it's a pretty rare gun. It doesn't have a cleaning rod hole in the stock, and it doesn't have a bayonet lug either. Since it takes AK mags it doesn't have a bolt hold open either, but strangely enough it has stripper clip guides notched into the top of the bolt. Does anybody here have any experiences with this particular model? Any guess on the value? It has matching numbers on every part.
