Matching numbers

When looking at an SKS what parts will be numbered?

If memory serves correctly, this depends a little on type, the Chinese military versus civilian are a slightly different, but usually the receiver, receiver cover, bolt carrier, bolt, magazine, trigger guard, stock are stamped with the serial number. The rear sight leaf is also usually numbered(often electro penciled). Also, I believe the gas tube is often electro penciled.

Thanks for the response, I thought I'd been blackballed. ;)
