Where are they still selling the Norinco SKS

[ulfilas]

Salut!

Could someone point me to a store that may still have the Norinco SKS available at a reasonable price?

Thanks for your time,

If your not in a hurry Lever is supposed to be getting a shipment this summer. I can't recommend buying from them though, worst customer service in the world.

I bought the last one from Frontier Firearms. The fellow I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and very descriptive of the product I am buying. I will let you all know how she looks when I get her.

Thanks again for all the help.

Good choice man, that place rocks!

Try the EE-there always seems to be a Norc SKS in there. Don't pay more than 200 bucks shipped!

I just received the SKS today via Canada Post. It looks great now that she is all cleaned up. I am very pleased with what I received from Frontier Firearms. The whole thing came to $216.24.

I am going to see if I can find some cheap ammunition at Cabella's in North Dakota and then I'll report back on accuracy. Is anyone interested in pics?

I got a SKS from Epps this week.

All matching serial number military gun.

Nice wood. It wasn't painted with the crappy red varnish but was drenched in cosmoline. It's alot more dense than other SKS stocks I have seen.

After melting off the cosmo in the oven, it looks pretty good.

Nice trigger too (for an SKS).

Nice looking wood on that carbine OC-3.

Did it come with the cleaning kit in the buttstock?

 

[Northman999]

This is a pretty nice specimen! Post us a pic when you refinish the wood!

 

[OC-3]

Still applying Tung oil

Will post a pic when done.

One thing unusual is the factory stamp.

It's this:

http://www.simonov.net/codechart.htm calls it "uncommon". Anyone have an idea?

My first rifle was an SKS (long sold), so I am trying to get a nice example going as a project.

 

[OC-3]

Calum, it did come with the cleaning kit in the stock. I should have bought 2!

 

[Northman999]

I just bought a new one and no cleaning kit. I wasn't too impressed.

Do you know how much do they sell them for? I live in Surrey, and rather not pay for shipping from sask., if it's the same price locally.

I've seen a number of 0406 factory carbines here. Perhaps less seen in the US as these are later exports
