First off, you didn't specify which army, nor did you specify the country of manufacture - the SKS was manufactured in the former Soviet Union, Romania, East Germany, North Korea, Vietnam, the Peoples' Republic of China, the former Yugoslavia, and Albania. A lot more information would be needed in order to determine this. Bear in mind that not all SKS rifles manufactured saw military service - many of the M59/66 rifles were never issued, and China continues to manufacture the SKS for the commercial civilian market.
