Just picked up a Chinese SKS from Classic. I was a little hesitant to order, because I wasn't completely confident in Classic's reputation. I rolled the dice and was VERY pleased with what I got. The rifle was $399 and I paid the $20 bucks for a hand pick (didn't pay the extra $20 for a milled trigger group). I got a numbers matching 1967 Arsenal 26 SKS with a milled trigger group. IMO it's a perfect mix of good condition and the "been there, done that" look. It has plenty of character, but not beat up. The only drawback was the amount of cosmoline! On the bright side, I had to take it down to parade rest to clean every nook and cranny, and in the process was able to get pretty familiar with the 'ol SKS.
