Okay ...
Check prices on Chinese SKSes. When you find one approaching $400, you call me. For $100-$150 more, you could have a Tula made SKS. This one is nice, it's early, but it's not a $400 SKS.
How is this still in the classifieds?

I would but I just don't have the money for it at the moment.

And fyi, all Chinese SKSes are "shooter grade"
BUT it says "OBO" so obviously will take less. Maybe not 250 but I bet he takes the first 350.... maybe less.

I beg to differ with you. I've got a Chinese SKS letter gun that's in like-new condition.

I have a 1972 Maverick that is in perfect condition.

There are some things that are so rare or so valuable that they should be placed in a case and admired. Let's be honest - most firearms ain't that.

I thought it was a fair offer.

I know where there's a Russian that needs a stock that I can get for $400, somebody put a folder on it.

If you offered $350, I think it was. The problem now is that he thinks he has an unrefurbed Izhevsk.

Lol, so the OBO is ********.Maybe he'll take $399?
It wasn't BS until this thread came along.
That's OK, different strokes............ my SKS a Chicom, brand new from Rose's a couple decades ago. It goes bang and reasonable for a pray and spray, nothing more, nothing less. Some guns just look like pure shit to me, if had both Khrushchevs and Stalins ugly assed Nagant Id part it out on Ebay.
If I had Eddie Sloviks only dropped once Garand Id hump it like it were my dogs favorite sock.
This gun is the equivalent of Maverick serial number 00002 ... not just any Maverick. That's what elevates it. I agree, if it were 18 months newer, you are pricing it correctly.
If you don't get it - you don't get it ... and you are correct, its overpriced for you.
If I were an SKS collector (and didn't have one of these already - which I happen to have purely by accident) ... I'd have made a relatively high offer.
That its still available, shows, to me ... that the SKS collector market is going soft.

I agree. I'm going to start avoiding his posts if he doesn't change it.
Hey, Andy, here's a much better avatar for you to use.

I'll give you $400 for it.
