Title: Chinese SKS - Value?
Post by: 6x6in6 on May 31, 2011, 12:10:04 PM: What's the going rate for one of these?
Condition is fair, I would say. Stock and steel, in appearance, seems OK. Nothing special.
No bayonet - missing!
It's my bosses. He's thinning out his stuff so just wondering what it's for sale value is.

I already snagged his '41 Mauser 98, sporterized stock and still chambered in 7.92x57, originally built in Germany for $200.

Haven't really looked at SKS' in a few years but i wouldn't pay more than $150-200 for one no matter the condition. And that would be the very top of my price range.

Yeah, maybe slightly I guess.
Been to Russia. Marked accordingly. Numbers don't match. The action seems in good shape and if not, oh well, it's only $200. I had a an empty slot in the gun safe so it was kind of a what the heck. :chuckle:

Post by: Arrowhead on June 02, 2011, 03:51:35 PM: I would have to say 100 to 150. If you watch the gun shows and ads, you can find them relatively easy for 100 - 125, sometimes even less than 100.

Please PM me if you see a fair condition or better SKS in the $100 neighborhood, I will buy it!
