Literally, millions. There were made by Russia, China, and many of the Soviet allies. While more AK47s have been made, there are a LOT of SKS rifles out there. No exact number are available.

Some SKS rifles were brought back... most of them were manufactured in East Germany or China, as the Vietnamese made SKS rifles were and are extremely rare. They were either captured or sold/traded for favours to other soldiers in-country.

How old is my army issued sks?

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.


What is a m21 sks rifle worth?

No country which manufactured the SKS gave it the nomenclature of M21. The only country which applied an "M" number which I can think of offhand was Yugoslavia, who designated theirs M59, and M59/66 for rifles which had the 22mm grenade launcher fitting. Yugo SKS rifles can go from $150 - $500, with the latter price being for an unfired, unissued rifle. SKS rifles in general can go from $100 - $1300, depending on the exact model and country of manufacture (Vietnamese and North Korean rifles have the highest value, being the most rare). You can send photos of the rifle and markings to my email (listed on my profile page), and we can determine the exact model and value from there, if you wish.
