The bottom of the trigger guard, bottom of clip housing, and the top of the action all have the same number; 32714. The other side is a little beat up, I can make out the obvious '7.62 x 39'. Camera or not, the rest of the marking on this side would not come out in a picture. I can't even make out with magnification. Yugo Mauser production, marking, maint., and other info.

There are plenty of other characteristics by which to identifythe manufacturer of an SKS rifle.

The easiest way to identify the model is to identify the countryof origin. The simplest way of doing this is to look for theimporter's mark. In some cases, it may be on the side of thereceiver. In others, it'll be on the bottom of the barrel, andyou'll need to unfold the bayonet and possibly remove the cleaningrod to see it. If you do not have any such markings on your rifle,it may possibly be a war trophy which had been brought into thecountry by a soldier returning home from Korea, Vietnam, etc, andcould be worth some serious money.

Here's some more identifying features to help you:

• Soviet models have two distinct arsenal markings - Izhevsk orTula. Izhevsk rifles will have a marking with an arrow inside of atriangle, along with year of manufacture, on top of the receivercover. Tula rifles are marked the same way, except their arsenalmark is an arrow inside of a star. Many of the Russian riflesimported into the US actually came from Poland, and wererefurbished with a laminate stock, and, in some cases, areplacement bolt (these will usually be blued) replaced theoriginal, and the numbers were force matched to the receiver.
• Chinese rifles will have Chinese lettering on the side of thereceiver, in front of the serial number. They're also commonlyknown for having a spike bayonet, although earlier rifles did use asword bayonet. There are MANY variations of the Chinese SKS, whichmay feature thumbhole stocks, differentbarrel lengths, and some were manufactured to accept detachable AKmagazines.
• Rifles from the former Yugoslavia tend to be built a bit morerobust, with thicker receiver walls. They also typically lackchrome lined barrels, although some of the very latest productionrifles did have this feature. The M59 was more or less a directcopy of the Russian SKS, while the M59/66 featured an attachedgrenade launcher (which was actually NATO spec, and not Warsaw Pactspec), a gas cutoff valve, a grenade launcher sight above the gastube which flips up, and also flip-up tritium night sights. Theonly markings from Zastava (the manufacturer) are the serialnumber.
• Albanian rifles are very distinctly different from other typesof SKS. They have a different magazine design, they have anAK-styled charging handle on the bolt carrier, and they have aspike bayonet similar to the Chinese rifles, as well as furnitureuncommon to any other manufacturer of the SKS, which extends allthe way to the gas block. There is also a sling swivel, positionedto the side, on the buttstock.
• North Korean rifles are extremely rare, and were known as theType 63. On the top of the receiver cover, they will be denoted bya star inside of a circle. Underneath this, the number '63',followed by a Hangul character.
• East German rifles are also extremely rare. They accept a slingwhich actually goes through the buttstock, similar to the Mausersling.
• Romanian SKS rifles will have the arsenal marks on the side ofthe receiver, underneath the opening for the bolt carrier.

Vietnamese SKS rifles are also extremely rare, and you wouldneed to get in touch with someone who knows more about them toidentify if yours is one.

If you bought it from a gun store, it's most likely from eitherChina or the former Yugoslavia, with a still somewhat fair chancethat it could be Soviet, a reduced chance of it being Romanian orAlbanian, and a very low chance of it being North Korean,Vietnamese, or East German, unless you paid enough for it to buythree or four SKS rifles of any other nationality.
