ok so i just bought my first sks and from what i found so far it is a chinese sino soviet. now the triangle stamped into the receiver has a 25 in it. i havent been able to find anything about 25. there is information about 26 though. before i give up and just assume its a /26\ (i just got a bad stamp) im asking you guys if the is such a thing as /25\
 
I'm sure there is. there were dozens of factories spread throughout china. 26 was by far the largest but I would not be surprised at all if there was a 25.
 
Many sources report that there were up to 150 different Chinese Factory codes applied to these rifles.

Here are the most common that have been reported in the U.S. (does the '625' look familiar?):

John's done a good job of assembling data on the SKS and his site is available here:

no its not 625. mine is like 26 but instead the 6 looks like the mirror image of the 2. so it looks like a 5
