So, I walked into a Pawn shop the other day.....

[pennstater]

Good find.

I don't know much about those SKS's but, man, that is clean. Nice score.

After a bit of negotiation, I paid $560. Way more than I ever thought I would pay for a Chinese SKS, but when I checked Gunbroker to get a feel for the current market, it was about an average price, if not a bit under.

For a Chinese SKS in that condition, at 2022 prices, you did very well IMHO. Enjoy it!

Very clean. Me likey.

I remember when you could buy them at the Great Western for $69 each, or $600 for a crate of ten. If you bought a crate, they would throw in a case of ammo.

ETA: Nice pickup, OP!!

Made at the Jianshe arsenal (factory 26)



Does anyone know what the "K" means after the serial number?

According to SKS files, that “K” suffix means it’s a factory 26 rifle, in the 23M range, that was imported by Poly USA.

Yep, that's exactly what I have figured out. Just wanted to know for sure that the "K" stood for Kengs. Now all I need is an early blade bayonet Type 56 and my Chinese SKS collecting will be done..............Unless I run into a deal on another spike bayonet one.

That's a beauty. I've never seen one that nice. There used to be some SKS forums on the interwebs that were full of good info on these Chicom rifles.

[Reno-Kid]

Nice Deal. There are more than a few out there.

[aghauler]

Good Score Highpower!

Moved all the way to TN and didn't stop by on yer way through New Mexico?
I'm C&R FFL free as of midnight tonight, it expires then. Don't need it any longer anyway.

[highpower]

I let my C&R expire many years ago, just didn't seem to be worth the hassle once I was out of Commiefornia.

Yep moved out in 2017, kept the FFL for a couple online purchases and then when I didn't get a renewal notice as normal I said to heck with it, let it go.
Let my medical license go, could not justify $700 to Kommiefornica for a license I can no longer use anyway as well as had to surrender my Class A CDL when moving here cuz no longer able to pass the physical (after 3 heart attacks), that hurt the most, I'd had it since 1976!

Only thing I'm looking for is a Ruger MK IV standard at a reasonable price and 15 min at the gunshop for the NICS, got more C&R's than I can use or need and will be cleaning house soon, I think. No rush and i might change my mind anyway
