SKS Insane prices

[powerbaitron]

They’ll always be around for cheap, and ammo will always be cheap and plentiful.

Just like enfields and .303 British.

Sarcasm at its cruelest.

I habn't gold plated an SKS B-fo.

Glad I bought mine for 200 from Canadian tire!

It’s a very well made rifle and i have several. I was thinking about getting an ar-180b in 7.62x39 and then thought it wont be better than what i already have. I think if an sks was built to the same specs today it wld be 800+.

I have to agree with you. These are very sturdy and good metal was used,....not like the garbage metal used today .

Someone posted a pic of a 6-8' glass cabinet full of only SKS's.
Might of had a military or other diploma on the wall next to it.
Had to be like 30+ SKS's in the cabinet!!!
Wish I could find it again...
Beautiful Pic

^ wow you weren't kidding about night fighting sks!

 

[cyclone]

probably had a tapco glued on. makes them priceless tactical trophies

When Tapco ceased production, that was probably another reason to bump up the prices ...

There's one on the EE right now, just put up.

Asking $750. Here's the really funny part: the seller has never shot the rifle. So he knows nothing about it!


And he'll take 2 normal SKS rifles, plus a few bucks, in trade. Unreal.

Cheers,
Neil

Gen 1 Sightmark, IR flashlight and a cheapa55 laser and a TRS-25 in an angle mount. The SEALS want to copy it.............

Just saw sks-15 for 1500 so I know people are praying for the big sells.

Doubt ppl are buying

 

[Jmcc]

every sks i knew about was lost in a boating accident when the OIC came out.

limited supply drives up the price of everything

 

[Curtton]

i dont have any qualms with sks asking different prices bcos of different countries and multi variants. eg: i will pay alot for a sks-mc with original wood thumbhole stock or a factory 26 early 60s.

but with T81 LMG bnib which are all the same fresh off the assemble line so i wish T1 lmg sellers would do a bit of research on ee before listing them $300 higher then the average lowest prices. eg: if you see 3 T81 lmg with drum asking $2000 to $2100 why bother asking $2400 or higher?

My little investment could pay off one day
1950r Russian laminate stock - all matching numbers (has a 1 on the front sight) oh baby

Sounds like a great rifle. How's the bore?

I was happy to see that when I got my SKS, the bore looked almost new.

The number on the front sight is for easy parts fitment at the factory and has nothing to do with accuracy or anything. Some of these fairy tales just won’t die.

YEA but my #1 shoots better then your #2!

 

[diabeticfreak]

These are times of uncertainty that makes the SKS inflate arbitrarily in value.
