    The big clue to a refurb Soviet SKS is the finish. This is what Non refurbs looks like.

    Are these all yours? I have a non-refurb Tula without the date or Tula star on the receiver cover that was unissued when I got it back in the 90's.

        Yup, all mine. Does your rifle have a small star on the left side of the receiver a few inches behind the serial number like the photos below? If so it's a 1955 or 1956 production.

            Yep.

            ETA: It was unfired when I got it.

                As a collectable - almost zip ,as a shooter for $350.00 not bad with a good bore. Hope that helps.
                What's a good price for a non-refurbished, all matching? Anyone want to sell me one

                    I would guess that a completely un-mollested SKS {Russian} would be in the $450.00 -steal to $800.00 -ouch range.
