Ransom Note For SKS

I don't think the SMLE comparison is a valid one. SMLES were "sporterized" by the thousand so people could own an inexpensive hunting rifle. In 2015 there are dozens of options for the budget hunter.

From what I've seen, most people leave their SKS as issued. Or if they modify it, it generally consist of attachments that are bolt ons, and stock replacements rather than full modification of the actual metal.

So I predict far more as issued SKS rifles to survive than the SMLEs, which will prevent the huge price disparity that exists between original and bubba Enfields. :)
 
Its the sad comments in threads like this that turn so many off this site.
Search the comments about gunnutz.
I love this forum but there are a lot of ppl on here that really need to get a grip.
Owning a firearm is for your own enjoyment.
Do as you please.
Honestly I think its great thread and could care less if someone retired at 40. And also doubt it unless born priveleged to begin with.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let the SKS go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

"Gud Luck!"
 
According to the Police, anyone can sell an SKS for $2000. So that must be true. A Tula in good shape for $1000 is a licence to print money.
Which stall door in which public washroom do I slip the brown paper bag under?
 
You could knit it a sweater like this!

does the note also mention that instead of a thousand dollars you could just have your rifle replaced for $189 at any Canadian Tire?

A rifle that cost $10 in 1960, now worth $700. So 6900% increase in 40 years.

On that metric, my rifle, one of millions, will be worth $14K by the time I'm done if I leave it as is?

Perhaps, but doubtful.

Sorry, bad math. 50 years.

BUT ..if you factor in the buying power of you money...You still lost value ....

Op it is to late..I already hacked one up...It shoots great with XCR mags:p
Think I might drill and tap it for a side mount, and or do the side ejection mod:dancingbanana:

But it is ok , with only 8000 rounds thru it, It is just broke in

Plus I have 2 Chinese SKS rifles in my lock up:d
 
Funny funny ,,,,,, some of the retailers are Bubbaing their SKS's for sale , plastic stocks , big plastic mags , new fancy wood stocks , stripped wood stocks just oiled up ,, ect but seems no one complains about that , people are rushing to buy them too.

the world is a funny place , each to his own , as long as well all love the sport what the big deal anyway .

Yeah, the local CT has a SKS and a Mosin in plastic stocks. $400 for the SKS. That was a couple days ago. Bet if I went back today one or both would be gone.

I've got a gorgeous Tula SKS I bought cheap for a project. Really nice gun, looks like it's got 30 rds through it. My plans are perhaps the apex of Bubba, and consist of cutting, welding, drilling, and replacing many things. It may even wind up painted pink. Since so many feel so strongly about destroying history, I'm going to set the ransom at $1000. Without the money delivered in three days, the rifle gets it. I feel bad for doing it but it's not personal, it's business.

Time for the purists to stand up and put their money where their mouths are!
