Thanks Marstar,

I got my Chinese SKS today, Mid production. My god that thing was covered in cosmoline eh? beautiful no issues.

It has the short barrel lug and stamped trigger group.

has the 0306 factory code(triangle no numbers), no Chinese markings and a 6 - ###### (7 numbers) can't figure it out.

I got mine 3 years ago with the 1440 rounds. I now have over 3000 rounds fired through it, and it is still as good as the day i got it. I now have a second. I also have 2 soviet sks's. The chinese military blows them away. It is accurate and tight as hell. couldn't ask for more. Definitely one of my favorite guns. Have fun with yours.

Same here, bought Chinese for myself and soviet for my daughter, Chinese is way more accurate then the soviet.

I agree. I have a couple of both, and the Chinese ones are much more accurate than the Soviet ones. I didn't like the stock on it compared to the Soviet ones, but everything is is better in my humble opinion.
I am sure others have had the opposite experience, this is just my opinion.
 
Yep, got mine. Haven't had time to clean it up yet but played with the action and it was tight and smooth. Looking forward to taking her to the range this weekend.
 
I got mine too and while I'm happy I have an SKS again, I'm a bit disappointed. The gas tube wood doesn't really match the rest of the stock, which is why I got rid of my other SKS.

now, I bought a Russian SKS from Lever Arms, when they first came in 5 or so years ago. I didn't have cosmoline...and this Chinese...holy cosmoline Batman!

I think I'm going to have to bake my rifle for several days, LOL!!!

yeah we have a bacteria bath at work for our firearms, so it worked extremely well. my god it was caked on though
 
I just got the Ammo through Canpar and am still waiting the SKS's to arrive. I'm SHOCKED at the shipping cost. $158.45 for 2 SKS rifle/ammo combos. The $75 dollar SKS kinda losses its appeal after that gets tacked on the bill. I've never paid so much for shipping that wasn't a truck engine.

Gratitude to Marstar, a little added indifference towards Canpar.

I decided to get my ammo from TradeExcanada because of the free shipping on the ammo, 250 after tax from them plus the 250 for this, ended up being 500ish all told
 
Current carrier blows. Canada Post for guns? After the courier 'attempted delivery' twice I drove 20 km and waited 30 minutes in line to pick up a rifle. Ammo? Not sure. Others ship for less. I've got no beef. I'm not a hater. I just shop around.
 
I just received my Chinese SKS and ammo as well. I'm pleased so far as it looks nicer than my '52 Russian. There are more sharp edges on the Chicom one though.

The part that left a sour taste in my mouth in my first and last deal with Marstar is that I was not told the shipping charges before the order was completed and shipped. I assumed (wrongly) that I would get an email confirming the price of shipping and asking if I wanted to proceed before the order was processed, shipped and I was charged. Had I known the exact charges of shipping I would never have authorized my CC being charged. I almost feel like they pulled a fast one on me. There was no "deal" once you factor in the shipping charges. Live and learn. Wont make that mistake again.

Ya, my Chinese SKS is a bit more accurate than my Soviet refurb.
I presume that's b/c the Chinese SKS is a new gun with a brand new barrel!
 
I have yet to remove the cosmoline off mine but I was pretty happy with marstar's delivery. Got my SKS as part of a m305/sks combo, it arrived one day earlier than estimated and it came in a nice marstar gun case.
