Title: Fair price for a run of the mill Chinese SKS
Post by: Dan-o 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

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.

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.
