We seem to be over-run with a deluge of Russian SKSs [Canada]. One source I read, claims that one importer will be bringing in another 70,000. I gotta ask, where are they finding all of these? They come in cases of 12, complete with sling and cleaning equipment and have apparently had an arsenal rebuild, as indicated by a stamped triangular mark, on the receiver. I can remember when getting your hands on one, was the holy grail of collectors, condition didn't matter. They were never really a Russian frontline weapon, for very long and I thought production was limited.

No. These are definitely Russian, right down to the markings on the guns and crates.
