$700 sks?

[Johnyy]

Hi, I was browsing your website & seen this: https://www.canadaammo.com/product/detail/chinese-commercial-sks/

Wondering what makes this Commercial' Chinese' SKS so valuable? I thought it was a Model 'D' at first..but doesn't look like it. What does the 'Commercial' designation mean? Thnx-

Wow. I have one of these in my display case. Paid 150 for it all matching. Not near as good quality as the military ones if it's the same rifle I'm thinking of, with the Chinese lettering?

I can't imagine any Norinco SKS being worth that money. Kind of curious as to why they're asking so much for it though.

Hope CA chimes in and explain why it's priced that high

When Canadian Tire pulled all their SKS over the Vegas shooting, there was an attempt to argue that it was because of an impending in crease in price and availability. This may be that finally happening.

 

[Mattthescreamer]

Maybe they meant $69.99? Lol

 

[Canadiankeeper]

Noticed it the other day. Assumed it was a mistake. lol

The ONLY way I would pay $700 for an SKS would be if it came with a case, and inside that case was $575 cash....

Guessing here, but this appears to be a non-surplus gun, and that is the real price of what a gun like the SKS would cost today if it were made and then imported as new. Wouldn't be any cosmo in that thing.

i was looking at the picture closely and tend to agree with you. It looks like its brand new vs surplus. makes sense, +50 yrs of abuse and depreciation would make a $700 gun worth $250

 

[northern skies]

Ok, so.... It's a lot more money for pretty much the same thing. Check.

Blade Bayo? I want a pig sticker for $700

 

[bryan.14]

I paid $100 for one that look the exact same with blade bayonet like 3-4 years ago.

Gold plated, like the drill rifles? lol - love the "comes in case with cash" idea above.

 

[Sinbad]

I saw it laughed and moved on. Somebody will buy if they leave it there long enough

 

[S1de8urnz]

My opinion, thats a new SKS and not a surplus. I bet a newly made SKS would be around a Type 81

 

[guess_kto]

I wonder if it takes AK mags

 

[Deathrawt]

I read somewhere that Russia was making new made commercial sks rifles for sale as sporting guns but didn't know the Chinese were doing it too

Maybe it's one of those odd ball / rare commercial imports from way back like the Americans got that had the stamped receivers.

Surely you're mistaken?

How the heck is it even possible to make a stamped reciever sks? The bolt locks into the reciever, and there's no way a stamping could withstand lockup pressure of 7.62x39.
