SKS of some sort. Possibly Chinese Type 53? or is it 56?

I am pretty sure that was a facetious question.
Agree that it looks like a Chinese Type 56 from the wood and the sling. What the heck is a Type 53?

Yes, although I do have no idea what it is, Sir. Would have guessed Chinese purely intuitively. Very beautiful rifle nonetheless.

bayonet looks Yugo, but it's missing the grenade launcher and flip up ladder sight.
Maybe neutered for some state's ban???

Malfunctioning Brainbox, I knew it was a type 5_, I just couldn't remember exactly what the second number was.
Also, the type 53 was the chinese take on a Mosin Nagant Carbine, similar to the M38.

IIRC the Yugo SKS's are available in two versions: the M59 and the M59/66. The 59/66 is the one w/grenade launcher. That one "could" be a 59 (or more probably the aforementioned Chicom Type 56, re TR's comments). They were produced w/o the grenade accys. Peregrino

Yugo made the Type/Model 59, 59/66 and 59/66A1 before going with the AK series.
China had the Type 56.
The Russian one "SKS" would be called the Model 1945

Peregrino, Good point Sir, I had forgotten the straight M59's w/o launcher spigot on them. It has been my experience though that most of the Yugo Stocks are a bit more rounded, and less 2x4 like than the one pictured. Honestly, with so many variants and accessories out there, it is sheer speculation on my part as to exactly what it is, I suppose we are at Hollis's Mercy for the answer.
Cool thread guys, I may try to get in on it tonight.
Good times,
Blake

Well we are at least spared the AK pictures
Kalashnikov - The lesser Models; Bulgaria, Egypt, Germany (East), Hungary, Korea, The Netherlands (the Galil version), Poland, Romania, South Africa (Galil) and Sweden (Galil again).
The Galil is close to the Finnish m/62.
And lets not forget the AKM, AK-74, AKMS, AKM SU, AK-74 SU.
Oh, my head is swimming. We can have so much fun.
