Most Chinese SKS in Canada are not Norinco. Most Chinese SKS in Canada were manufactured before Norinco existed. Norinco SKS are much more common in USA. Our Military Surplus SKS are more correctly called Type 56, or just Chinese SKS.

Also, the Chinese SKS have super shitty sears. I recommend replacing the sear with a Murray's sear. Safer, and results in a much nicer trigger pull.
