The Collector’s Guide To The SKS

More than 4 million SKS rifles in its numerous variants have been imported into the United States, making it one of the most commonly encountered military surplus arms on the market.

The Collector’s Guide To The SKS by George Layman provides a definitive resource that covers every known variation of SKS, and more than 800 color photos provide detailed visual data for each model and its markings.

In addition to its comprehensive distillation of known information, this latest book also brings new knowledge to the collecting community, thanks to recently declassified intelligence.

A comprehensive overview of the SKS rifle’s development, along with an identification guide for novice collectors, rounds out a book that promises to “change SKS collecting forever.”

MSRP is $49. For more information, visit the Mowbray Publishing website here: gunandswordcollector.com.
