Makes me cry...

[TheExpertish]

Why not start of on a Romy or Norinco? Why ruin a Russian?

Why ruin a Romainian either? There weren't a huge number of them made, much less than russians.

It's a bubba, but I've seen plenty worse.

I was at a local gun store recently and I saw a Russian SKS with a polymer stock and the previous owner painted the wooden hand guard black instead of buying matching plastic. Oh what a tragedy.

[mls343]

Yikes! That is bad.

[Milsurps]

$400 Really ?..

[yellowsled]

thats awful. its a pile of parts now. $150 at most.

[Ryan in SD]

And nothing of worth was lost

Honestly guys, its just an SKS, who cares. Its not like we're talking about mosins here...

lol

[senorpeligro]

Makes me want to set up some kind of operation where I buy all these all guns to take them out of the hands of potential bubbas. Maybe I'll put them in some kind of locked metal shelter for safekeeping.

It's a calling.

[Vlad 11]

I think I need to scrub my eyes.

[Paulie Lugnuts]

BAD Bubba! Give me the keys to your El Camino, brush your tooth and go to bed.

[Latigo]

I don't get it. Its just a crummy sks. Years ago my dad was buying them for $59.00 each and selling them for $75.00 What makes them worth so much now?

[FourTenJaeger]

I can buy better off of backpage for two hundred dollars if I want a Bubba.

Supply and demand. No new supply, plenty of demand for unmodified originals.

It's the same argument that's been used for any milsurp really. "I don't get it. It's just a crummy (1903/G43/SVT/matching K98/Arisaka/insert milsurp here). Years ago they had them in barrels!"

Hell, look at mosin carbines. Four years ago you could get them anywhere for less than $100. Now it's hard to find even a 91/30 for less than $100.
