I was gonna text you about this thread but figured you'd find it quick enough $300 is tempting.

"SKS with detachable magazine" is on the banned list. Perfectly legal without detachable mag. Can also have bayonet since there's no detachable magazine.

Yeah good looking out bro. It's a Chinese, I'm really looking for a decent Russian model. But it seems like everyone that is selling one is also a crack smoker, haven't found one yet that was worth the asking price. And I am willing to pay what a rifle is worth, you know that about me. But I'm not overpaying for a beat to S#*t non numbers matching half ass amature refinished surplus rifle someone thinks is some rare treasure that it's really not. For $300 if it's a good chineese example, with a decent bore in good shape it's worth the $$$

 

I remember going to zues's in the 80's and racks were full with sks's for 99.00  

 

few years back i purchased Romanian one and an all matching #s chinese in very good shape i think from aim was before the spike in gun sales.. 300 for the romanian and 200 for the chinese..

 

but still a dam good price at 320.00 today they are very fun to shoot..

Oh I know you will, if I hadn't seen a post on the forums from you today on anything I would have let ya know about this thread. 

I'm a big fan of the sks. It's a great rifle. It is as reliable as the ak and more accurate. This rifle had a huge influence on the design of the ak.

Not a bad deal. Grab one, these are huge fun.

I was at Les's shop today picking up some ammo and he had what I think is a Sino Soviet on the shelf in almost new condition for $400.00. The sino soviets were made with Russian machinery and under russian supervision. Do a little research before you hold me to it though, it had no Chinese writing and the serial was a letter then 4 digits. That's a screaming deal if it was what I think it was.

Cool thanks I'll check into it. Really nice because he's close, and I always liked giving him my business.

not really an sks guy but it's Chinese, wouldn't you rather have a yugo or Russian one?

The Sino-Soviet SKS were essentially Russian, just made in a Chinese factory.  The Chinese SKS gets a bad rap, but the ones that I have are just as well made as the Russian I have.  The later ones with the stamped receivers and pinned barrels are not of the same quality, but I've read claims of them being good shooters.

Thats because those 1st ones i believe were built under russian supervision.

Besides the Russian, the Chinese make the second best sks.

Chrome lined bores are nice for corrosive ammo, and all Chinese are. Yugos aren't lined and often the barrels are trashed.

A Chinese is just as good as a Russian, weather it be a Norinco or a Sino-Soviet. Really there is no "bad" SKS. The yugos get a bad rap because many of them are trashed and people don't clean the gas ports. The only overall negative is the lack of chrome bore.

 

I do love my Tula.

The Yugo is a bit heavier.

gotcha...good to know....so I shoujld be buying a chinese one then?

I would get a Chinese over a yugo any day

I'd go Chinese over Yugo anyway, especially at this price point. They may be a little more worn in than Yugo's and Russian's but for just over 300 bucks, you can't beat it.

 

Chinese Mosin's also get a bad rap like Chinese SKS' do. It's funny how they are a fraction of the cost of their similar counterparts yet most of the ones I have collected or shot have smoother triggers and just feel better than them.
