No, most of the military today in the US use M-16s and I don't think the US ever used them unless they picked it up from an enemy that had one.

The South Vietnam Army used firearms from the U.S. such as the M14 and the M16 or the M1 Carbine since South Vietnam was the ally of the U.S! The Vietcong used mainly the AK-47 provided by China and Russia.

The SKS and AK-47 saw their "FIRST" full scale action against US Forces during the Vietnam War; 1961 thru 1973. In Vietnam, SKS's were replaced by the AK-47 by 1969. If the SKS was built prior to 1973 and has a US Government tag accompanying it as a "War Souvenir" then it is a "battlefield pick-up." All GI's bringing SKS rifles or K-54 pistols back from Vietnam had to have a tag on them. AK-47's could NOT be brought home as war souvenirs. Since the Vietnam War, the SKS's, AK-47's, etc. have been used by nearly every nation on earth and are common in the US. If the SKS in question is not a "Viet War Souvenir" then it will be difficult to trace it's combat history.
