Thinking of letting go of my very nice Chinese SKS. Have never sold a fire arm before and not really sure how to price things. I also have 660. non-corrosive Norinco rounds to either sell with it or separately. And have a couple snap caps and a nice Sks diagram cleaning Mat.

Fun Centerfire plinker but just find I don’t shoot it much. Much prefer shooting my bolt guns and rimfires. Easier to clean and cheaper and need clear space in safe for a possible ORPS rifle build.

Sks looked like it had never been fired when I purchased it and I have about 500 rounds threw it since purchase all non-corrosive.

Just looking for value advise at this point as undecided if selling this or my first rifle a savage A22.

I'd sell that one and the A22 (I had one - hated the trigger pull & the CLUNK - Sold it quick), then maybe buy a Ruger Ranch x39 to use your 600 rounds. I have one and it's MOA w-a 9X duplex out to 180 for me (all my range goes to).
 
Thing is I really have soft spot for my A22. It matches my CZ 457 accuracy wise and the trigger on mine was good and is great now with the Jared upgrade. It was also the first rifle I ever purchased. (Inherited my actual first rifle a Browning SA22). The a22 has Probly seen the most rounds of all my rifles. I just contemplated selling as it be easier as a few people at my range really like it.

So leaning on selling the Sks as it get least use. But considering the A22 failing that as o do generally prefer shooting a bolt gun and I have 2 other semi auto .22lr rifles

Perfect world I’d keep ‘em all. But one needs to go to make space.
 
Like others have said. $450 to $500. It's probably easier to sell the Ammunition separately. I'm surprised to hear someone likes the A22. It's by far my worst firearm. Something about it I just don't like. Not a fan of the AccuTriger, the front blade sight is insanely oversized, and the clam shell stock doubles as a drum in the woods. IMO the Savage 64 is a better rifle and half the price. I've tried to sell and trade mine a few times to no avail. I guess I'll have to drop the price a fair bit to make it move.

That's a decent looking Chinese SKS though. Not bad, I've seen way worse. Edit: Saw your A22, that stock on it is infinity better then the base models plastic clam shell. I may have liked mine more if it had that and not this abomination of a plastic stock so cheap that kids toys are built better.

For the few hundred bucks you'll get for it (and as others have said I doubt you'd end up with more than $500 in your pocket if you sell it, and probably less) I'd keep it. These are only going up in value.
