Have first dibbs on buying a Chinese made SKS. Vietnam era made. I haven't seen the weapon yet. If it's in decent shape I think I'll probably buy it. The guy wants $250 for it. What think ya'll??? I thought that if the stock was REALLY dinged and messed up but the action and barrel were in real good shape then I could use it as a project gun and really pimp it out with aftermarket stock and things.

About the only thing I've heard about them is that they got a lousy Heat Treatment in manufacturing. So you may or may not have much accuracy. But if it's just a fun gun/plinker that may not matter.
-
Thats a decent price, but it was better in 1991 when I was working a gun shop and they were $69. :chuckle:

I have Chinese SKS carbine. I've had it for about 15 years. It's in great condition and a reliable shooter. Since buying it, I've polished the bolt, dropped it into a synthetic stock and installed an American made 10 round mag. Haven't shot it in years, but it's a fun little plinker.

The Norinco SKS paratrooper is a great carbine. Milled trigger group and milled gas/piston tube is what you're looking for in an SKS.

here is my Norinco SKS, i paid $200, it has a tapco six position stock.

Duckaholic, Nice looking setup!! That's pretty much what I have in mind for this one if the stock is in bad shape but the action and barrel are in good condition. Thanks for the picture!!
-
Depends if it's milled or stamped... and what condition. If milled and barrel/cycling is good, then prob a good deal. If stamped and has seen a-lot of use, then I'd pass for something newer and in better condition.

Hey Duck, that looks familiar....looks like something i may have sold to a buddy not too long ago :chuckle:
-
ya maybe but lets see how fast u can sell your .40 :chuckle:
-
Milled or stamped, both are pretty reliable guns. Remember, they are Ruskie designed, so they work. Great little deer guns.
-
Haha....we should know by next week brother...i'll be in touch!
