I have been offered an Albanian sks. I have always wanted one. What are your thoughts on the rifle and what price are they going for right now?

Best place to search for price is gunbroker, click on advanced search and sear completed listings.

Price?

SKS are great,

 

alabanian are the rarer sks since less were used there

 

if all the numbers match and condition is good anywhere from 400-700 depending on condition

 

numbers matching means dust cover, bolt, extractor, receiver, trigger group, mag well and stock

I love my albo sks. I got it in May. It will be a bit mor expensive because it is one of the rarer sks rifles.

I'm buying it for $400. It's all matching and in great condition. I know it's rarer, but I see prices from $350 - $700. That's a big price swing on rifle.

That completed listing trick is very handy.

400 is good price i would not pay more than that for an sks alby or rusky,, les for other countries..

All matching good condition? Sounds like a good deal. I spent 700 on mine because of a little bidding battle on gun broker. Mine is really nice though I'll post pics so you can compare later.

$400 was the most I was willing to pay and it was the least he was willing to take.

That completed listing trick is very handy.

Yes it sure is, I can't take credit for that trick.... It was passed down to me by the OG "junkmanted"

The Alby sks's are never shown the respect they deserve on gunbroker for some reason, they are often over looked and forgotten  by most casual sks buyers. Making it good for guy's like me who collect all things SKS, that being said an excellent Alby condition with matchng numbers would be a good deal at $500.00. You would really need to dazzle me with a Alby at $700.00 but I have seen some inbetween that were worth their price tag. $400.00 is a steel and quite frankly the seller is an idiot if it's that nice.

 

Cograts too you.

Oh the sks guru has spoken ! Hodgie how's merica treating you?

C&R license in 3 weeks after arriving, LTCF 4 weks after moving, 30 round mags, shooting any gun I want on my own land, paper work in for 2 suppressors as of last week. I guess I cant really complain too much too be honest with ya. Ohh yeah the commute to work sucks but it's a small trade off.

Most Albanian SKS's are beat, so if you find one in good condition at a reasonable price, grab it. $400 was a good price for one pre panic.

Romanian and alby or next for my collection

did it belong to carmine

$400.00 hasn't been an average price in a long time, at least several years before Sandy hook.
