The price of the sks stays about the same over 50 years!

[Rick911]

"Very rare"?

Yes like every sks in the EE.

Worth at least 400$ each.

 

[Mark-II]

Bayonet extra?

I'd grab and few Vetterli's and go a hangin and a bangin LOL

 

[mikethebike]

I'd love one of those Bazookas as a wallhanger, I had a toy model when I was a kid. It shot plastic rockets about 20-30 feet.

I wonder if you could reload the ammo!
I wonder is a bazooka a sub moa? Since it obliterates the target at 100 yards?

 

[Plasticman]

Replica Naval Cannon $50. haha, awesome! would be fun getting that thing to the range and back.

 

[NintendoDuckHunt87]

Where's the cleaning stick?

 

[WestIslandRifle]

Heuh? Nobody noticed the Bazookas for 20$?

i was thinking the same thing also the sks as '' VERY RARE ''

 

[tootall]

Thats the difference between true rarity and apparent rarity.

 

[mg4201]

I would so buy that bazooka if given the opportunity. The Halloween possibilities alone would make it worth it.

 

[mg4201]

It is a magazine from the US... Surprised they weren't selling landmines for kids to play Army in the backyard ...

Different ad, only at Christmas LOL

Bingo...

 

[Repro77]

Heres an ad from 1962 shooting times magazine that lists the "currently used Russian arm" at $250. That is over $1900 today with inflation! I wonder what the future price of these rifles will be... I'm posting these ads to drive people nuts

I'm more interested in a Bazooka for $19.95!

 

[Magellann]

I don't think they would last long if they were available again.

Good idea !!

"Very rare"?

Yes it was catured during a spy exchange at the berlin wall

Not far off.

Interarms had access to all kinds of wild stuff due to the "connections" of its owners.

I think Egypt got SKS at some point, hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

A Russian SKS in 1962 would be a pretty significant addition to a serious military rifle collection, and $250 would have reserved it for only the most well heeled collectors.

Ammo would be unobtanium. Better be a serious re loader as well.

More SKS started to show up during the Vietnam War, but it wasn't until the early 1980s they started to come in quantity, and mid/late 80's for large quantities of surplus 7.62X39.

 

[moonshot5]

I like the Lee Enfield Carbine in the ad, easily a $1000 plus rifle today.

 

[ljones]

Interesting they were identifying them as Russian 46. We know them as Russian 45...

 

[raym]

anyone else notice the lack of a bayo on that sks?

Even now some of the SKS's coming into the US have missing bayo's. The cleaning rod is missing too. Nothing too unusual...

 

[Mil Specs]

That must be where the officer in Vancouver got his info on the rarely seen SKS . Back then the cold war meant almost none would be brought into the US. About the only arms Russia was looking to export into the US in 1962 were a few ship loads of Nukes in October (and not the friendly unarmed kind either!) they even named a crisis after it lol.
