Need help looking for a NK SKS

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Been a visitor there since day one.
Great site! Broken down by country of origin.
Some of their members' collections are overwhelming.

I'm a sucker for an SKS deal, any condition. But unfortunately, they're few and far between these years, in this state. PAX

The North Korean's are uber rare. I've never seen one in person.

I was able to get a North Vietnamese SKS around ten years ago. It has some battlefield damage and it's original sling.

Rough shape, but original.

OP -

They are out there - Not easy to find nor reasonably priced by any means -

This one have been refinished to hide the heavy pitting - The stock have been refinished also - Slightly sanded -

It's unfortunate as we who collect bring back cherished them for the original condition -

I feel the price is just ok given the condition -

Hope you have deep pockets

Which is the best shooter, Yugo, Russian or Norinco ?
Any restrictions on out of state purchases or auctions ?

Beautiful rifle SVT - Always a pleasure for me seeing it -

To show the difference in conditions -

The first gun is heavily pitted also was converted to gas cut off for launching grenades -

The 2nd is all original -

This is actually priced pretty good. A valmet AKM is more expensive.

This website seems to have pretty much everything known about every SKS variant there is so you can compare features and markings if you find one to make sure you aren’t getting scammed.
