SKS & SKS-D Prices...WTF?

[Mark-II]

I sold my Yugo a few years back for about what Chinese ones go for today...

....And then last fall I bought one of those Chinese ones, just for the symbolic middle finger it represents.

My first chinese sks was $214, and it was 2014.. so im surprised to see people saying they payed around $200 in the 90's. In 2014 russians were selling for like $300-$350.

I've had 20+ years to figure out a reliable AK mag for mine. Still haven't.

Probably why I never sold it all these years. Don't wanna pass on a lemon to a fellow gunnie...

There were only a half dozen SKS at Calgary gunshow today. Prices were in the $800 range.

Only six? Thought for sure they'd have more

I love looking back at what we used to pay for these things lol..... getting old sucks

The OP made me laugh whinging about the price of things back in '07. Man, we used to have it good, especially when the LGR got thumped. It's not just that getting old sucks. Life in Canada sucks more now too.

I'd buy the trigger group if you want to part it out $$$
