"SKS" is a rifle originally designed by a master gunsmith named Sergei Simonov and first built in Russia. The initials are loosely translated as Simonov Self-Loading Carbine System.

12FLV and 11GL are simply rifle models from Savage.

I replied to your PM and explained the "report bad post" thingy.
