Wish I found that deal!

I'll give ya $200 for it

 

[MACHINEGUN]

Nice deal.. since they all overbid, can I get it for $1?

 

[tradertator]

I remember when you could buy them by the crate for 69.00 per rifle. We use to use them as truck guns....gets busted up and we didnt care.

I still think they are worth 70.00 per gun.

Not only did you get the rifle for $69, but a black trash bag to carry it home in.

I have no idea what year mine is either. I tried to research that, but there isn't much info on it. I know that the Chinese characters on mine say 568. Mine was numbered 1080 on all the parts, but that doesn't show up any where on the web either. I don't know if the 1080 is a lot number or an admin number or what. I can't find any info on it. I know mine is at least 15 years old as that is when my friend bought it. He didn't know if it was used or "new".

Hit the Survivors SKS Boards and check out the narinco section. They have a dating system put together.

According to that site, my SKS is from 1958 . . . Holy crap!

It takes magazines, but not the AK ones. The top part is longer.

Now, see if you can get some of those 1440 round cases of Norinco green or yellow box steel core ammo for $89.00. Then you can call it a win.

My friend actually gave me some free ammo with it. Like 50 rounds. It was old as dirt. Might have been it.

I'm 100% sticking with the original wood. I've done the whole black rifle bit with the military. I like the look and feel of real wood. In my opinion it's much easier to keep clean too. I'm thinking about optics/sights. I like the function of iron sights as that's what I"m used to.

Thank God!

No offence to anyone here, but I hate tapco-ed out SKS'!

No kidding. Who ever would have thought these rifles would ever command such a premium.

 

[trophy hunter]

good deal!! i just sold one of mine for 275.00, to fund an ar build..

 

[ddewyse]

Wow!! I am so jealous. I bought one just like it (only standard length) this weekend at a show in like new condition for $280. Gave it a good cleaning Saturday night and went shooting with it Sunday after church. What a blast! Took about 10 rounds to get it sighted in and the last 30 went too quick. Enjoy your "new" gun - I know I will.
