This Russian SKS-45 is chambered in 7.62x39mm and combines the classic Simonov semi-automatic action with a black synthetic thumbhole-style stock. The rifle shows matching serial numbers on the visible numbered components and is import marked “RUSSIA SKS 7.62x39” and “CAI ST ALB VT,” identifying Century Arms as the importer. The exact Russian arsenal and production year cannot be confirmed from the supplied photos, so this example is being listed simply as Russian production rather than attributed to Tula or Izhevsk.

The traditional wood furniture has been replaced with a lightweight black synthetic stock featuring a skeletonized thumbhole buttstock and ventilated fore-end. The original-style fixed magazine remains installed, and the rifle retains its standard adjustable iron sight arrangement. The bayonet is not present. Standard Russian SKS specifications include a 20.5-inch barrel and 10-round fixed box magazine.

Overall, this is a shooter-oriented Russian SKS configuration with the desirable benefit of matching visible numbers. The metal finish appears to remain in very good used condition with normal handling and storage marks visible in the photos. Buyers looking for a Russian SKS without concern for original wood furniture should find this an appealing example.
