I feel a bit more normal now, although I considered a crate buy,, if the right deal came along and it wasn't a picked over crate I still would!,,, SEE what I mean!
Nice Rifle. I had one AT8n. Remember they ran guns in series and your gun was the first in that specific series, a neat variant!!!
You guys are so lucky in one way...............being able to buy SKS's and SVT's. I would be looking really hard at building a collection. Of course, living in the U.S., we can no longer do that but did have that opportunity in the early 90's. I just wish I bought more SVT's, they are the dark horse!!

It isn't any more rare than number 2, 50, 132, or 3242. It is just cool because of the single digit. I paid 250 for mine from westrifle which was the going rate for non refurbs.
If people want to pay more, that is an individual call. They do pop up. I wouldn't pay a premium.
Thanks for the info and opion, it won't be for sale than! As for the rarity in my opion it is more rare, out of 9999 (just a guess) 90% would be 4 digits 9% 3 digits, .9% 2 digit and .09% 1 digit. I did a quick calculation off of wiki and figured approxmently 151 number 1 per year . I have heard of an number 2, but I searched and could not find a number one.

Sure. But out of 9999 guns, each number shows up 1 in 9999 times.
Hi Yooper. It took a long time to get anything but chinese sks's around here so this is relatively new for us. We're lucky now with quite a few choices in the red rifle department. The $200 SVT is the latest thing to happen and I'm sure glad I picked one up! A nice ISZY '41 to boot.Great rifle shooting a powerful round. Now we need aftermarket scope mounts and we'll be off to the races
