SKS with burst barrel at the muzzle, what is it worth for parts?

[Fox]

I have an SKS that has a burst barrel at the end, cutting it would make it restricted so not something I wanted to do.

I am curious as to what it is worth, I was told to part it out and sell the components to get the best bang for my buck. I wanted an SKS and was given this one but the guy did not know that its barrel is done.

Is it worth $100?

It is a Russian 1952 I believe.

Not really related to your question, but can you post a picture of the damage? I'm just curious as to what it looks like.

Should be worth $100 to somebody....

Part it out. You'll make your money back possibly more.

The parts individually should be worth about 150, but too much hassle. I'd say 100 for it, but yes, people will want to see the barrel

How much of a market for SKS parts?

I actually have never actually shot an SKS, I wanted one and a friend gave me one, when I went to take it to the range I gave it a once over and found a burst barrel, back in the cabinet it went.

If you sold the bits individually at M@rstar prices, you would get well over that. Somebody would like a spare parts set, somebody would like a bayonet or a stock.

Exactly like others have said. Easy $100

here's some prices for you

mag 25
trigger group 50
stock 30
upper hand guard 20
piston 15
piston extension & spring 15
bolt carrier 25
bolt 30
recoil spring 25
rear cover 20
cleaning rod 10
bayo assy 20
barreled action 30

Easily can get 300 if patient.

I'd pay $100 for sure.

Buy a new one and keep it for the backup parts.

Buy a new one and keep it for the backup parts.

That would be my suggestion as well . You can still buy SKSs here at Canadian Tire for around 200 bucks ; so just buy another and keep your current SKS for parts .

I could use a new magazine depending on how it's pinned...
