The SKS was a Russian weapon and the Chinese made a slightly modified version called the Chinese Type 56 Carbine. We call them all SKSs generally.
Chinese SKSs will code the year of manufacture in with the serial number. The number(s) in the million's placeholder of the serial number represent the year of manufacture. Unfortunately, there is a LOT of inconsistency regarding the numbering convention of Chinese SKS's. There will be some with letters tacked on to the end, some with only six digit alpha numeric serial numbers, and some with Cyrillic characters thrown in. If you strip off the trailing letter and if your numbers are still in the millions, the letter was most likely added to the serial number by the importer for control reasons. If there are Cyrillic letters involved or the serial number is only four digits, you have a Sino Soviet rifle made in 1956-57.
EX1: S# 2432000B = 2,432,000 = 1958
EX2: S# 18641000 = 18,641,000 = 1974

The list goes on, but you get the idea...
Value, in original configuration with average wear...$225. Any mods will deduct from that value because 90% of buyers don't want the mods you did or want a collector rifle....don't do mods on your guns that can't be undone.

An Norinco SKS in excellent/mint condition could be anywhere between $200-$325, depending on where you live. In California, I'd expect them to go for slightly more since it is one of the few fun rifles to have that is legal in the state, so demand is a little higher (so is cost of living). If all the numbers match and you have a bayonet attached, it probably means it arrived in the US before the Chinese import ban. If I were a buyer, I'd expect to pay about $250.

It's worth a couple hundred bucks, they are relatively easy to come by. The Russian ones are worth a few bucks more than the Chinese SKS's, but they drop in value once you modify them. Original condition rifles are worth more than altered ones for some reason.

Its a sks...its third world country military weapon...its worth spit, maybe $150...any bit more and your ripping people off. It doesn't matter how old it is, plus it would be close to impossible to get a date on it anyway.

If you want the best results go to Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, or go to your local gun shop and get it appraised.
