You can't buy a like new Norinco SKS With or without the bayonet (replacement bayonets are less than $25 delivered.) for $200 anywhere , anymore or for a long time now. Many of the SKS rifles used in Vietnam war were not the older Sino-Soviet SKS rifles they were newer made with spike bayonets.
A very small portion of the huge SKS cache that B/5-12 would uncover on 21 June 1970.

Nice clean SKS rifle.
If that one was mine I could get $375 for it as is or $400 with a replacement bayonet no problem.
Makes no difference to me what somebody else is willing to pay for a generic, commercial SKS sans bayonet. Sight unseen (no pictures posted yet), I told the OP what I might pay, considering the alternatives I've acquired recently. Now that the OP has posted pictures, my opinion remains much the same.
I'll ask you this. How much would you pay for that rifle when I've recently bought #s matching Sino-Soviets in good shape for $300 each and some unissued, unfired, #s matching Russians in pristine condition for $550 each? Just a matter of patience and perseverance to find them.

Makes no difference what you want to pay it only matters what it would sell for in today's market as the OP's original question.
I sold a similar SKS only 3 months ago for $400 on this very forum to a member here so I don't speak in what if's or maybe could of , only in my personal expierience here.
Your mileage may vary.

My point is to simply to let the OP know they are other affordable options out there if he takes his time and looks around. No need for him to buy it just because his buddy is selling it if he'd rather have a collectible instead. He has to decide for himself.
On a related note, a guy at the last Frederick show was selling a neglected Yugo SKS for $600. Would I buy it? No way. But somebody might. As always, buyer beware.
Because MD is a No AK state I would say that Norinco SKS is $325- $400 if put in the MDS classifieds. Post for $200 and it would sell in hours. Thus under priced IMO
$350 should sell quickly. Some people who just want a shooter would be the one to buy it. Not a C&R holder, not likely a collector.

Boom Boom,
I was not trying to buy it but just putting out the question of the value.

Got it. I thought you were interested in it. Tell him to ask for $400 and take the best offer. If somebody offers $350, he should take it. Most buyers won't know the difference between collectible or not, if they even care.

All SKS rifles have climbed in price.
Those of us who bought up Albanian SKS rifles when they were well under $250 in all matching Very good-excellent condition know this well
Just wish I didn't stop at 6 Albanians back then
