Well thankfully im not trying to sell it to you lol.
Im not even trying to sell it at all. But i have considered offering to trade it for other things i want... Just wanted to have a rough idea of its value.
My My, how the tide has turned for the SKS...

Anyone have any ideas what my sks might be worth now? Its a 1950 russian, spring loaded firing pin, hical rear peep sight, timbersmith stock, has 2 factory mags and one tapco, functions flawlessly with all 3. Bayo lug removed and properly blued over, and has a russian snipers badge in the stock. Also has probably the nicest trigger of any sks ive ever shot.
I am more interested for the price of the house rather than the sks. The location look pure Heaven on earth.
Lol, 'bout half a mil, but it aint for sale. Im in the gulf islands of BC.

You sir are a lucky man. As of late, I want to escape from Ontario and settle somewhere far from neighboring homes and the riff raff.

Gents; FYI that Fishing World in Hamilton got a few very decent standard grade SKS's in. They are getting harder to find these days, and the staff there are excellent to deal with.
Lol it certainly doesnt live up to its boastfulness. About the only thing it can snipe at 200m is the broad side of a Lada.
The independent fact checkers will be all over that video.
I think got examples of both great and stereotypical shooting SKS’s. However, they all always work, and they all do the job they were designed for. I disagree with the video’s description of this gun as a dmr rifle for shots up to 600m. I doubt the soviets imagined much real world work past 200m.

This is mostly due to receiver not tight to the stock on the front where the gas tube sits. Can easily be corrected by doing some bedding.

For sure! Its definitely a condition thing. Some models suffer from a mangled barrel crown, shot out rifling which doesnt help either. We've all heard the rumors too that non chrome lined models shoot more accurately.
any updates on your youtube channel. Dragunov vid, what happened dude? Not that I want to copy it, wtf so much work.
Don't let us hanging.
You screwed up, no problem, start all over again. Never surrender.
The SKS Dragunov is alive and well. Figured id make some final improvements to it before i made a completion vid of it. I most certainly plan to shoot the 2021 Cabin Fever Challenge with it.
The SVT 40 Dragunov is not so well. I screwed up with it many years ago and havent been bothered to fix it it yet. Its mock reciever needs re welded in some spots, i need to make 2 new stock pins and check the headpace. I plan to do something with it the year. It hasnt been very high on the priority list cus despite it looking fairly nice, it shoots like a sloppy example of an SVT 40. Nice 6" vertical strung groups at only 100m.

It's a 1950 that's been irreversably sporterized and is pre-chromed barrel. I'd say it's worth approximately the value of the stock and magazine assembly (parts) + at most $200.

Yeah, about $500.
wait few years and sell some sks to move out ... they re climbing more than estate lol
Lol ok. A semi auto centerfire that looks as ###y and reliable as that is worth $200 at most? I dont believe that but thanks for your opinion.
Also, who says i cant re-weld the bayonet lug back on and blue it so you cant even tell it was ever cut off? Irreversible lol....magine.
Anyways, I think what is driving the value isnt so much people looking for numbers matching collector grade guns, and more so the fact that its a semi auto, non restricted centerfire in the <$500 range.
