WARNING SKS prices will go up in 2017

Chewed up Chinese or Russian surplus only means more SKS will end up with new tactical stocks, which I kind of prefer.
 
I heard that in july 1st there will be export mark from Europe that UN want to put on each rifles exported. The price of each rofle will be 200$ more. Is that the truth?

The UN marking scheme is a thing, but nobody knows how it'll impact price. For what i can tell, someone made up the $200 number and its slowly turned to fact on the internet.
 
These SKS rifles are SO under priced its crazy. Where else can you get a semi auto rifle that's as tuff as Nails for this ridiculously low price.! A vz or CZ isn't built as well & fetches $1000 bucks......its the same calibre ! I've thought this for years. Its easily a $700 dollar rifle all day long.
AAAAAAnd....that's why I have 4 of them.

Only issue is the metal is rough on some of them, They can be rusted and pitted. If the stock was the only problem you could steam out dents and sand without issue.
 
An SKS, produced today in Canada or the U.S., using the same physical labor and milled parts will cost well over $1200 U.S.

It'll only be in 15-20 years time that we look back at how shockingly low communist priced labor made these rifles almost disposable. When you actually go to make the same gun for yourself is when you realize what a value an SKS, or other milsurps are.

To each own. I've never handled a SKS yet that has a plastic stock that wasn't noticeably front heavy. I have seen some in nice aluminum chassis.

I like them in the stock form when not all beat to hell.
 
Here is an add from"INTERNATIONAL fire arms 1991 Catalogue. When you figure out the value from then to now,..they would be selling for $338.99 now. a look back in time LOL

I bought mine over time; the 1st one about 6 yrs ago for about 1/3 of the current price. And it's really nice. When you look at what you've got in your hands for just over $100, or even a few $100, it's a great deal.

Oh man! I've been wanting an SKS for years but can't get the ammo in my neck of the woods. If I didn't live in a remote northern fly-in community I'd be all over one of these... and a case of ammo to boot!

get it shipped There , canadian tire in labrador city carries 7.62x39. when you travel somewhere stock up then.
 
Ask North Sylva for a price of those sks
Also Russia is holding their stock of sks since 2000. Only small batches realize to specific companies but those batches went in price as well to 150 usd per rifle. So you can wait for maybe or buy today.
There is no more cheap sks overseas this is why you need to go and buy one today.

North Sylva has some non refurb SKS, haven't shipped to retailers yet that I know of, my ### will have a few, I told him to order more, the order went in late Nov.! I don't know how many NS brought in but am sure they can get more!
As Westrifle says, the Russian SKS may dry up as the political mood is dark towards Russia right now,, who know what may happen in the future, five years from now things may open up again or maybe not!

I've noticed that a lot of the SKS's for sale over the last couple years are of the sh!ttier quality. Bad wood, painted metal and even rusted internals. Is this the new normal?
