SKS for $600?

I just jumped on their Christmas SPECIAL, $450 for a 1949 SKS with FREE shipping.

You won't beat that boys & girls, these things are MUCH harder to come by lately.

Thanks for the deal WestRifle, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! :rockOn:

Cheers

Same! But... I gave into temptation, ha ha ha.

With a 1949 in the stable, I'll clean out other years because they are 'common'... Chuckle

1949's are not common at all, even more uncommon is a 1949 with a skinny fore end where the bayonet folds in.

I picked one of these up sight unseen a few years ago from Westrifle, I believe the current 49's offered have been refitted with replacement stocks.

Some members here need to read the SKS sticky:

As for some of the comments here I will say what my father taught me:

[h=1]Wise men never argue with fools, because people from a distance can't tell who is who[/h]
 
Nice! If I would have seen this thread before that SKS would have possible been in my safe.

It was listed as a laminate, but close inspection of the ad & pics showed it to be a hardwood stock & that was what I wanted! ORDERED & saved with the Xmas special!

So whats the deal with the '49?

First year of production for the Russian SKS.

ay 600$ are the 1/2 MOA and shome lined ?

No, this one is minute of товарищ and not chrome lined, chuckle!

I just was in a shop that had a 49 all numbers matching stamped not etched and was in 9/10 condition. Owner said 500 out the door. Should I be jumping back in my truck and returning to grab it?

If I walked into my local shop & they had that rifle, I would have bought it. I like inspecting firearms before I buy BUT that is not always possible... That being said, even though the mag doesn't match on my 1949, all the other parts are matching.

I'm happy.
