SKS PRICES

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Nope. She is way over $900 at this point. C&Rs are much cheaper than wife and kids.

BTW, I have plenty of 8MM available, for the right price

.50 per round for Yugo surplus

About the same for Romanian spam can ammo

Turkish, Persian, other garbage 8mm .30 or less.

Your to nice BB. Lets make it retro style and pay 90's and 00's prices so Joe can relive the glory days. .7 cents for yugo 8mm and .5 cents for the other garbage. In 2006-07 8mm was an average .06 cents a round from century shipped.

Absolute ripoff. The gun store in Lancaster on Sierra Hwy has Chinese now for around $350

Add the dros and tax and there you have a 400 rifle, in couple months you will sell it for 500, 6 months later you will get 600, and what's wrong with that, you pay more for bread and butter every year why not for guns

Holy Cow!

I was going to post something of value in this thread but it seems two amateurs have taken over playing with each others dingles.

When you guys want to see a real SKS collection, come over to my place. I'll show you my Albanian, which I know neither of you have.

I got rid of my beater from Classic I picked up when they were $245 a little over a year ago.

No way I'll pay over $300 for the beaters.

this was also back when wolf 7.62x39 was 2.99 a box

I bought 6 from Aim Surplus, unissued, $100 each.

I shoot one, traded off 4 of them for other things when they hit about $400 each, and still have one in the box from AIM - never been out of the wrapper. And for those who say the gas port will go bad after 1000 rounds of corrosive ammo - I've been shooting corrosive ammo in it since I bought it years ago, never clean it - just run a oily mop through the barrel. Still shoots like a dream. In fact, shoots better than anything SKSer has ever brought to the range! I beat the shorts off of him every time!

SKSer - it's yours for $1200.00 cash. You have to pick it up.

Only a fool would pay over $100 for a used Python. Its sloppy!

[NOTABIKER]

I bought a new Russian SKS at gun show back in the day for less than $150. I shot a couple hundred rounds through it. It didn't impress me very much. I felt almost guilty selling it for $600 for it recently. But the new owner was thrilled. It may have an appeal, but I see it for what is/was. A crudely made weapon made in mass production by a state controlled factory that worried more about quota than quality.

With that being said, it is a free country and people are going to pay what they want to pay.

yes some of us love them for exactly what they are , basic, reliable, durable killing machines. i love shooting my mosins. i shot my M 44 and my M1A on the same day. after i was done i felt the M-44 was more fun and cheaper to shoot. sold the M1A and made a nice profit.

I don't care what' haters say the SKS is bad to the bone.

Well look who it is. Isn't the hoarder himself. That's alright old man your time is up now. My life's goal is to have more ammo than you and I got a 32 year head start and TX as my playground. Albeit it will be one kind of ammo since I wasn't around during your precious "80's 90's era" when everything was dirt cheap and people giving away SKS' and ammo for free.

Sure I'll pay 1200 for it, and burn it to the ground and piss on the ashes knowing it was one of yours. O I seem to remember...didn't I shoot better than you with your own gun? 10/10 ***** to precise hmmmm In with the new and out with old old timer.

You created this monster and this monster is hungry for revenge. My 5.45X39 stash is starting to look like this in my Aunt's garage.

[Future unsure]

Could I get a price check for my Chinese type 56 ( I think that's what it is) in a Tapco stock? No bayonet, but it shoots well.

Are you refering to me?

I don't see anything crude whatsoever with a Russian SKS. Last time we were out in the desert, I shot hundreds of rounds through my boringly reliable SKS, while our friend with his prized M1 Garand could not fire more than 1 round at a time without the rifle seizing up. Total fail.

I'll take my unbreakable commie rifles and spam cans, and the others can have their snooty high end C&R guns with the expensive ammo that jam all time.
