Chinese SKS 7.62×39, 20″ Hush Folding Stock

The Chinese SKS 7.62×39 — Hush Folding Stock brings the simple, reliable SKS action into a more compact package for storage and transport. Chambered in 7.62×39, this semi-automatic carbine retains the SKS’s straightforward gas system, fixed internal magazine feed, and easy field-strip maintenance.

This variant is fitted with a side-folding “Hush” stock — a reduced-profile hinge and soft-touch interface designed to lower folding noise and reduce snag points when deployed. The folding configuration shortens the rifle for transit while preserving stable ergonomics when unfolded. Typical examples include a 20-inch barrel, steel receiver, and wood or synthetic furniture; exact finish, accessories, and condition vary by lot.

Often offered as surplus or refurbished units, these SKS rifles are popular with collectors and shooters who want a practical, easy-to-maintain platform with a more compact footprint for storage or vehicle carry.
