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

            What a show the Great Western was!! Tables as far as the eye could see.

            ETA: Nice pickup, OP!!
            You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
            If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.
            Come on...what harm??

                    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.

                          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.

                            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
