The 7.62 mm Simonov self-loading carbine (SKS, Index GRAU – 56-A-231, also known as SKS-45 abroad) is a Soviet self-loading carbine designed by Sergei Simonov, adopted in 1949.

It is often compared to the AK-47 even though they are different.

Simonov System Self-loading Carbine. The SKS was designed in the waning days of “Great Patriotic War” (known to the rest of us as World War II) by Russian designer Sergei Simonov. It was the first officially adopted arm chambered for the then new 7.62x39mm “intermediate” cartridge.
