Alright boys and girls.

I have resisted getting into the whole SKS thing (actually, I've resisted all surplus) because friends of mine who have sucombed to the lure of the SKS tell me it's like Lays potato chips: YOU CAN"T HAVE JUST ONE.:D

But, seeing as how Lebaron has them for $180 wood and $216 laminate, I am really itching to check them out.

So my question is: What should I be looking for when checking out the surplus SKS at the store?

Is it important that all the serial numbers match? Will that fact help resale if I choose to sell it in the future?

Are some years more desirable than others?

Any advice is appreciated, and go easy one me for waiting so long.:eek:
 
Because of you I just noticed they have them at LeBaron. And I have nothing to do tomorrow. And I have $200 cash in my wallet right now, well, for now...

I would also appreciate the advice you are asking for....subscribe to this one.
 
90% of the SKS out there are arsenal refurbs with force mached parts. So all you really need to be concerned with is the overall condition of the gun. You also might want to look at the year stamped on the reciever, you never know it could be a 49 or 56(rare years). Hope this helps you out.
