Moka's Raifus has Albanian SKSs in stock. Never heard of them before. Could there potentially be more of these (or maybe more Chinese SKSs via Albania) eligivle for import? Maybe it's just a one off sale of someone's collection.

Cant see the importer stampings clearly.

Only ~15,000 Albanian-made SKS were ever produced. 9,000 of those were destroyed after the Balkan wars. Of the surviving carbines, I'm.aware of only one importer stamp for those pieces that made it to the US: Tennessee Guns (TGI) out of Knoxville, TN .

TGI stamping is a single line dot matrix script.

The import stamps i see on the Moka Raifus guns, are different:

Could be a small batch import from an entity other than TGI. Or a different TGI stamp.

What I want to know is are these recent imports? :unsure:

Thanks for the heads up.
