Was thinking on picking one up I found for sale, mint condition, but haven't seen it. Thinking on my selling or retiring my 1981 Norc, have had it for 15yrs.
 
I'm not sure I understand the point of retiring one SKS and buying another one?
If anything buy and immediastle retire the Ruskie, it'll be worth a lot more than the norinco in the future.
 
If its got the original mag and not that century stupidy and it truly is mint (which is likely) then what are you waiting for!?!

russian sks's actually make the sks look like its a better gun then it really is but don't be fooled its still just an sks :)
 
Hows this...

You might be right in a sense that 1950 was the year when the 1st chrome plated was made. But I was told that since 1953 there was no single one made that had steel bore.

Obviously:rolleyes: . I was commenting on the fact that he stated it wasn't worth buying unless it had a chrome bore.

Unless he is not going to shoot it... Buying dark bore Tula SKS for collection makes sense, but ditching chrome plated Norc and buying a dark bore Tula for plinking is questionable investment IMHO. Not that I belong to the crowd that is afraid of corrosive ammo - I shoot it all the time and clean right away...

I see what you were saying now. Glad to hear you're not one of the "gotta find non-corrosive ammo" crowd.;)

The third pic is a rifle that has been reconditioned recently at the Molot plant and sold as a hunting rifle (bayonet removed, new stampings that read OP SKS 7.62x39 etc).
The Molot plant is converting some ex-Soviet Cold War stock SKS and Mosin rifles into "civilian" firearms www.molot.biz
