If you take into account all the ‘holes’ in between years and assume that the S/Ns reset to 0000 in ’76 thru ’78, then you get at least 16190 carbines produced. These add up to 14855 "known" guns based on the high/low S/Ns. Undated: 9 to 284, total of 275, likely total of 284.1979: ? There were '79s built, we don't have any S/Ns in our database.In 1978 they again ramped up production, perhaps using up all the excess parts they had lying around. It’s obvious that the need for the model 561 was not very great in these penultimate years. Albania destroyed many of their small arms under a UN agreement before the SKS rifles were exported. These years seem to all have a S/N resetting to 0000 at the beginning of the new production year. The 2,800 represents the number of rifles from 1969 that are estimated to still be left and in the US not the of rifles made that year. By 1976-1977, it appears the Albanians had very low production numbers, only producing 1/10th what they did in previous years. Either way, the rolling S/N is hard to argue against because it is so consistent through the ’67 to ’71 time period.
1971 ALBANIAN SKS PRODUCTION NUMBERS CODE
Certain S/Ns in our list appear to either be incorrect, out of place, or perhaps the Albys stamped an incorrect date code on them. It looks like in 1967-1971, the Albys had a straight rolling S/N that started at 0001 in ’67 and finished at ~10300 by ’71. A: Based on our latest S/N data, this is what the breakdown currently looks like.
