I'm sure there is. there were dozens of factories spread throughout china. 26 was by far the largest but I would not be surprised at all if there was a 25.

Many sources report that there were up to 150 different Chinese Factory codes applied to these rifles.

Here are the most common that have been reported in the U.S. (does the '625' look familiar?):




John's done a good job of assembling data on the SKS and his site is available here:

no its not 625. mine is like 26 but instead the 6 looks like the mirror image of the 2. so it looks like a 5
