value of non-26 marked matching numbers Chinese SKS?

wood looks decent when on my laptop looking. Pretty good condition. I would take a picture of the bolt/pin carrier as well to show matching #, although Im 90% sure it will be.

if the rod is missing is the butt hole cleaning kit gone too ?

i wouldnt worry about it both are kind of useless if you are just going to be shooting it

I also picked one up from Classicfirearms around that time and paid for the hand select as well as the extra "all matching #'s guaranteed" fee. Well the condition was actually fairly decent, much better than yours but it came with a non-matching bolt. Lesson learned! I don't think they pay attention to anything in the orders at Classic they just box it up and ship it out the door. I think paying the extra fees is how they get a few more bucks from the suckers like us.

I got a couple early on in 2014 I think. $269 & $199 but they were at an LGS so I was able to inspect them. Matching numbers, nice metal but fugly wood. PAX

If one cares about the cleaning rod or buttstock cleaning kits for looks or going to war with, they're abundant online.

Agree, but this one didn't ship with either to begin with. Easy fix though.
