Well, I have a bog-stock SKS which I MIGHT be persuaded to part with. It will be at a premium, of course, but that's to be expected; after all, it is from my PERSONAL collection (not from YOUR personal collection, mind you, or Uncle Bob's, either of which which would cost you less). Let's look at some of its finer points:
Developed by the secret Simonov Team at the fabled Tulskiy Oruzheiniy Zavod established by Peter the Great (250 years after Peter died, mind you).
Directly descended from the SKS-45 which was used in COMBAT in Berlin in the final stages of World War Two. (Well, yes, the prototypes were. It is also descended from the totally UNIQUE Tannenburgerbuchse as well as from the legendary BAKER Rifle which defeated NAPOLEON!)
Uses the popular 7.62x39 cartridge, the FIRST modern intermediate cartridge (which most people have heard of).
Functional (I should hope so!) gas-operated action for pure RELIABILITY (just like all the others, but you still can't hit the broadside of barn with it).
In immaculate ORIGINAL condition (exactly as removed from storage following refurb).
NEVER been dicked with (because I don't know how to take it apart to clean it).
Still contains ORIGINAL Soviet-era Cosmoline substitute coating most parts (the rest sprayed out when I shot it).
Comes with ORIGINAL SOVIET FACTORY TOOL KIT (just like the other 14 million).
Tested only 10 rounds (and never cleaned because I'm too lazy).
Short and Handy Carbine length with ORIGINAL BAYONET (just like all the others).
The FINAL PERFECTED FORM OF THIS HISTORIC RIFLE (Okay, the tooling was worn out and the Inspectors were drunk; it's still pretty).
A SACRIFICE (of your wallet) at just $1399 plus shipping to YOUR address (don't want it going anywhere else, do you?)
NO TAXES!!!! (Because I am not licensed to collect them by the Provinces or by the Feds, although I would if I could)
So what do you think of that? Doesn't that just make you LUST to obtain this UNIQUE SPECIMEN (different serial number from the other 44 in the basement)???
