most of the "supergrade" blued SKS's with nicely pinned mags are WAY undervalued. We'll be laughing at this post in 10 years from now when they are twice the cost or more. Buy a decent one or two now while you still can.
10 years from now? By that time semis and bolts will be banned, and the government will be going for "high powered pump actions" then.
And what do you think that would do to the price of an sks?
5$ as they would be prohibited under the the 12(46) classification.
12(46) would be all semi automatics, no next of kin (obviously), and you can only bring them out of legal storage when a police officer would request to see it, no other valid reasons!
unfortunately I think you are correct....I'm guessing they are gonna move on a prohib for sem-auto's
Well then, I guess we better get our collective $#!t together and be loud, the liberals know we are here now, so they will try us, we need to go at them hard and fast all together to show them they need to play nice!
The Liberal leadership does not care. they demonstrate this by pushing this crap while down in the poles. its all about ideology to them.
There has been plenty of 49s found to be faked. Yes those are worth a touch more but still shows the will to do so is there.
You can also look to Mosins which are cheaper than SKS rifles yet nearly all of them have their bolts shaved down and re stamped; Granted that was done by the Russians themselves.
Do a little digging in some other forums and you will come across many that believe a particular business forged non refurbs to meet demand when the market dried up. Whether or not it's true who knows but when I see a flat spot exactly how these people warn to look out for, I get suspicious. All I do know is none of my non refurbs have said flat spots conveniently where the markings are.

I understand what you mean Hirv, but I think this one is a bit shallow, you may be right, I will try to take pics tomorrow of my two, you can easily see the large divot left when they sanded off the serial # it makes the stock visibly more narrow! They are still two of my favourite sks, the refurb job made them nicer than original in my opinion and the narrow stock made them a bit lighter! Then again, there aren't to many sks that I don't like!
Yep, I was and am going to sell ( a few sks) and other guns to downsize for retirement, but as soon as this bill gets passed if it does, I will neither sell nor buy any more! This is the start of a robust gun registry, we need the Conservatives in to reverse this crap and implement common sense regulations!
Plus one! SKS bring a smile to my heart even though I have moved on to buying and shooting other more specific purpose guns.Then again, there aren't to many sks that I don't like!
My '58 "K" - 60 year anniversary is this year... She doesn't look too shabby for a 60 y/o
This one is a little jealous though, 78 y/o sister.. She's had a tummy-tuck (bolt/carrier refinished), face lift(refinished refurb stock), stomach-stapling (mag limiter) and wears dentures (stainless gas system). She's also getting knee surgery (titanium rod for gas rod)

If you ever feel the need to get rid of that one let me know. That's my dad's birth year and I've been looking for a good one to gift to him.
