Anyone purchase a non refurbished sks lately

[bp2626]

A week ago I got a heavily refurbed 1954 izzy, and a non refurb 1953 izzy at CTC here! the 53 is really nice but the mag was swapped at pinning, stock has a few gouges but cartouches are brilliant and no refurb marks, internals look mildly used, they were and are on sale for $169. , they also have the super duty whatever, that are all matching and non refurb for $ 269 I. Think! There are still a few non refurb Tula in there and some nice refurbs as of a couple days ago for $169. Might have to pick up another!!
Now I will have to sell my 49 to pay for these !

That really sucks about the magazine being a mismatch on the 1953 Izhevsk, could have been one hell of a find. Do they still have the ones with the riveted magazines or are they butchered?

It is really nice and pinned inside on follower and it doesnt inhibit movement, nice and loose! These no refurbs that seem to be coming in are pretty cool, stocks are a bit scratched up and a bit of blueing wear in the recieve etc; i may get another.
