Gabe, the Chinese started production in 1956, and continued for some years after. Web site here for dating the Chinese SKS >>>> http://chinesesks.weebly.com/dating-the-chinese-sks.html .....Have a great day!

Gabe, the only way to know that would be to buy one and check the date threw the serial number. Sorry but hope this helps.

Gabe, I would ask Buds Customer Service to have their Inventory Dept. check the date stamp on this batch of rifles at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.
