SKS for $600?

[CravingGlory]

To a gun collector its like finding a 57 Chevy. To anyone else, its just another old car.

Zactly

To all the ahole answers, grow up.

But this is the firearms COMMUNITY, people are supposed to be aholes for no apparent reason. For a group that is bound together by a common interest, there sure are some pretty sour attitudes online, at the range and at gun counters across the country.

What so special about a 57 Chevy?

I have one. Don't you?

FYi and not to derail the thread.
I'm not a collector and don't know the history but i THINK there were some Mosins at the CT Chilliwack location for around $800 along with the rest for $200ish. They all look like normal 91/30s to me, not snipers. The labelling was by hand and very bad hand writing at that.
May be significant, like these '49 SKSs....??

I bought a 49 at Canadian Tire in Leduc, a couple years back for $179.00, I think it is a bigger POS worse than any other one that I have had over the years. I would not pay any more than that.

I'm surprised no one asked if the OP phoned before posting!

I believe those were the K98s in the back row for $890? Although they were talking about getting some Mosin snipers in, so I could be completely wrong....

There were K98s right next to the MNs but the labelling looked like it was over the MNs. Who knows? If anyone is interested, they could maybe call and check.

Even non-collectors will notice something strickingly unique about a 57 Chevy. A gun collector collecting SKSs is akin to a coin collector collecting Canadian pennies!

That is your opinion alone. And if you have not noticed, there is no more surplus rifles other than odds and ends of Russian vintage. Nobody cares if its not your thing.
