To determine the year model of your SKS rifle, check the serial number located on the receiver or the barrel. This number is often accompanied by a factory code that can help identify the manufacturer and production year. You can also refer to specific SKS reference guides or online databases that correlate serial numbers with production dates. Additionally, examining any markings or features on the rifle can provide clues to its model and year.
The Yugoslavian SKS rifle with the serial number M-515771 was produced in the late 1950s, as the Yugoslavian variant of the SKS was manufactured between 1958 and the early 1960s. The specific year of production can be determined more accurately with additional details, such as the exact serial number and any accompanying markings or features. However, without that information, it's generally understood that SKS rifles with similar serial numbers fall within this timeframe.

The only SKS carbines currently which require registration are the Chinese-made SKS-M and SKS-D models. Those could not be imported into the state after 1989, and had to be registered by 2000.
All of the fixed ten round mags are cross compatible, but cannot be used in the SKS-M or SKS-D, both of which use a detachable AK magazine.
