What is a super grade SKS

To me it would be a all numbers matching, blued, in nice shape with no dings or blemishes, preferably with a laminate stock.
 
A Korean SKS or Yugoslav M66/59 or maybe even a D model. Or whatever one you don’t have to complete your collection. A factory 26 is also desirable but not to everyone
 
Should mean matching numbers, no bbq paint, chrome bolt and bayonet, unissued or basically unused or little to no wear on the parts etc. No ###XX on the stocks. No Molot markings/stamp.


What you’ll get these days .......

Get a time machine and buy an SKS from 3 or 4 years ago.
 
^^^^ I did buy back then, I got a beauty, it looks like new, and the best part was that it was only $140.00 I wish I'd picked up a couple more.
 
All Original . all stamps . the stamps around the cross bolt the inspection stamp on the stock - Cartouche . blued . correct wood for the year and hopefully no rust. all matching numbers. mag not butchered because of our stupid rules. no so called safe kisses. a scratch here or there minor ones depending on price. excellent bore. a nice Red colour. one that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up LOL. hopefully a star on the face of the stock with the same serial number as the bolt and the year it was built. don't beat me up if I missed something please.
 
For me, anything 'super grade' is if someone took a time machine back to 1950, or whatever, grabbed a fresh gun off the assembly line, and brought it back to the present...

All jokes aside, yeah, like most others have said, everything matches, no dings, etc.


(I would settle for a 'used - with scratches' hoverboard if said person went into the future and got one, that's my only exception :) )

That's what I would be looking for for the description plus any accessories in tact
 
A made up name for marketing, if you are looking for collector grade you need to get specific info about a specific sks, our CTC had supergrade and I looked at them all, claimed they were non refurb, at least 2 out of 5 were refurb, easy to see, the others were a mess! So , if they were non refurb, they were fairly heavily used! CTC got theirs from North Sylva and North Sylva decided which were Super de duper grade, it is a crock! I picked out 7 rifles from regular grade that were far superior to the super slam duper grade! If you insist on super grade then ask the seller what it has and get lots of pics!

Do not buy an SKS from anyone who uses the term Supergrade.

Both of these above. "Supergrade" is like the term "Minty". In my opinion, it's a term used by sellers trying to pull a fast one on you like the stereotypical B-rate movie greasy used car salesman: a d*#chbag of a calibre not worth lowering yourself to because you would need to go back in time to the factory to truly get a "supergrade" SKS. Just like you'd have to stop by the candy stand at the checkout when buying one at the LGS and buy something "minty" to make the definition apply.
