Default Requesting information about sks rifles.

I have a couple of questions about my sks rifles.
1. Do all sks rifles come with the hinged magazine cover? When I purchased one of my sks rifles, it already had an aftermarket 30 round magazine on it, so I am wondering if the original magazine had the hinged cover.

2. How can I tell if my sks rifles are Chinese, Russian, Norinco, Yugo, etc?

Thank you for your help and any information you can share with me.

Check this out, Blue...http://www.simonov.net/uberid.htm

It doesnt cover all your questions, but I think it'll cover the identification part.

In my experience, yes they do come with the cover...

Thank you Crpdeth. That link answered all of my questions. Where do you come up with this stuff? You must have a hot line directly to the answer gods.

Thanks again,
