- CC>Does anyone know the meaning of the SKS designation of the SKS model 56?

- Hi, Chris,
-
- SKS = Samozaridnya Karabina Simonova
-
- The last two words translate to "Carbine Simonov", Simonov being the name
- of the designer. As for the first word, maybe try posting it in one of
- the language conferences...;)
