Unissued Russian SKS

[banditos]

I wonder what the story is on Tradeex. They have some refurbished SKSs for $169.00 that look really good. Do the numbers match on those guns? Might be an option for us "pork and beaners" that don't have a lot of money.

I talked to Anthony over at TradeEx - they don't have any of the 1949 models and the one's Westrifle has here are beautiful. I'll post pics when mine arrives in the post.

Because it is open to people's different interpretation.
To some people new is never uncrated
Others new means "stored never fired"
To yet others it means manufactured yesterday

I looked at the ones on Westrifles site. They are very impressive looking to say the least. What a scoop for Westrifle to get those!

There's only ONE 1949 left, people!

That was a response to bjs meant to quote, not sure what happened.

You were the guy who got the other 1949 model?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the '49's are now gone! I hope you two other guy's will post pictures of yours here when yours come in the mail with me! I think I picked the best one, but they all looked very sweet

I find your statement clear and concise not much to be left open to interpretation. "New is New and Used is Used". It does not matter if a product has been manufactured 60 years ago and put into storage or 2 weeks ago it is still new. I find it strange that Westrifle the Russian SKS experts would have to ask the general public what "New/Unissued" means, when they are the experts. Why dosent Westrifle just sell their rifles either "New" or "Used" then all the confusion goes away.

Probably because they don't want to sell an item to the customer and have them say "Well this rifle is used, because it has been handled"
I would think they are just clarifying so they have this thread to fall back on.

Nice looking SKS, I will order one if there are any remaining on payday.
