Fair price for a run of the mill Chinese SKS
« on: October 30, 2016, 12:51:44 AM »
Good evening.

I'm curious about what a fair price would be for a run of the mill Chinese SKS in good condition would be.

It's been modified to accept Duck Bill (34 round) mags, but also comes with the factory hardware to revert if wanted.

How can I assess a fair price?

Thanks,

Dan

If it were me I'd wait to sell after the election...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Is it import marked?

Jay,

I don't know what import marked means.....I am not SKS savvy.

I bought several SKS's back at the time of the original Brady bill - my personal protest.   So, these are pre-Brady Bill, if that matters.

Thanks all.

Thanks all.parts

Many have the importers name engraved or dot matrix stamped on the barrel or maybe reciever.

Non import marked ones are more desirable and having the original parts is good.

The more people I talk to I'm keeping mine, the sks and ak-47 are two of the most reliable shooting guns out there.  Not perfect on accuracy but very dependable.  I bought mine probably 20 years ago, paid 86.00 for it from a gun store, wish I'd have bought 10 of them.
