online its still $500 at intl sup... im not surprised cos we were showing up and buying the mint ones so if you ordered online you PROBABLY get what the in-person dont want, lol.
 
Anyone know if these landed at SFRC, I called them asking if the stock they had now was the new shipment and the staff wasn’t sure.

Was in gobels in London today. They had 3 of these and priced best I’ve seen at $511. All three were good shape, none had stock repairs or plugs. All matching. 2 stocks finish was a bit gritty but nice wood grain.

Hey Gillen1, wanted to pass along my thanks as I intended to order one of these SKS's but was concerned about getting a dud, buying online sight unseen. The morning after you posted this, I called Gobles and they still had the 3 SKS's and one had been marked as the best of the 3 so I bought it and had it shipped to me.

Got it last night, appears brand new/unfired in great condition, with only a small mark on the wood under the receiver, so very pleased. In a bit better condition that my factory 306 un-issued with pinned barrel, so a good complement to my collection.

So here is the part that is blowing my mind...I really wanted one as nice as the one North Sylva posted at the start of this thread, and not only is the one I received as nice, it is that exact same one!

I started to write this post and when I opened the first page and scrolled through the North Sylva pictures, I noticed a mark in the wood under the left side of the receiver and thought that looked the same as the mark on mine. So I checked the serial # and it is the same one!

Not sure what the odds of that are, but regardless, I am quite happy with the one I got and appreciate that you posted this info.

Thanks

They had lots at the Cabela's North Edmonton store last weekend and with the 10% hometown heroes discount they were $405. They are still on sale for $450, they will also match any online retailer in Canada.

The Nanaimo store will only price match retailers on the island… what crock of sheet!

The nanaimo store has an attitude problem. I purchased a crate of 7.62x39 and the spam cans were already opened I went back the next day and they refused to return them. I even asked for an exchange on a rifle for sale they still refused.

You have to ask for the top dog… can’t remember his name. Always reasonable for me… but you can’t show him attitude.

Anyways… got mine. Was very surprised with them. They are brand new and look to be legit PLA issue and not export types. Glad I held off from paying $600 for someone’s mixmaster beater
