Picked up another SKS,found it on the EE. Its a letter и so should be a 1957. Hardwood stock,stock cartouches are there,bayo have the gold coating and the carbine look like un-refurb and unfired. When the seller got it at first, the sks wasnt well packaged and a bolt from another rifle did fews dings on the stock, near the crossbolt. Other than that,the sks is flawless. At $200+ shipping i said why not? After inspection,the SKS will be greased and put in reserve with others

Is that gold coating on your bayonet, the shiny gold or the other goldish stuff? What do you think the shiny gold bayonets were for? Beautiful SKS there!

The gold stuff seems to be a protective coating,some kind or lacquer. Manys non refurb,never or lightly used sks have it.
